Gauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions

by Hong Liu, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos, et al.

Book Overview

Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal dissipation that it cannot be seen as made of particles. String theory provides a powerful toolbox for studying matter with such properties. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to gauge/string duality and its applications to the study of the thermal and transport...
