Physics of strong electromagnetic fields in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Abstract

I discuss several roles of the strong electromagnetic fields created by relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These phenomena call for theoretical and experimental developments to understand dynamics of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) as well as purely electromagnetic processes in the ultraperipheral collisions.
