Recent Progress in Applying Gauge/Gravity Duality to Quark-Gluon Plasma Physics

Abstract

We give a brief overview of the basic philosophy behind applying gauge/gravity duality to problems in heavy ion physics. Recent progress regarding viscosities, anomalous hydrodynamics, energy loss, as well as thermalization will be reviewed.
