We review the recently found map that takes any static and neutralKaluza‐Klein black hole, i.e. any static and neutral black hole on Minkowski‐space times a circle ℳ d × S 1 , and maps it to a corresponding solutionfor a non‐ and near‐extremal brane on a circle.This gives a precise connection between phases of Kaluza‐Kleinblack holes and the thermodynamic behavior of thenon‐gravitational theories dual to near‐extremal branes on a circle. Inparticular, for the thermodynamics of strongly‐coupledsupersymmetric Yang‐Mills theories on a circle we predict theexistence of a new non‐uniform phase and find new informationabout the localized phase. We also find evidence for the existenceof a new stable phase of (2,0) Little String Theory in the canonical ensemblefor temperatures above its Hagedorn temperature.
