Early thermalization, hydrodynamics and energy loss in AdS/CFT

Abstract

Gauge/gravity duality has provided unprecedented opportunities to study dynamics in certain strongly coupled gauge theories. This review aims to highlight several applications to heavy ion collisions including far-from-equilibrium dynamics, hydrodynamics and jet energy loss at strong coupling.

Review to appear in QGP5, 31 pages, 11 figures
