I've also got the impression that thermal AdS is AdS space with a compact dimension, I could quite easily write down a metric that looks like AdS_4 x S^1 for thermal AdS_5 but just recently I've been plagued with making piles of mistakes in my work. Is there a link that talks about the thermal AdS_5 metric or does someone feel nice enough to write down the thermal AdS_5 metric so I can compare with what I've got to make sure I understand it?

Thanks.
