Topics in the Transport Theory of Quark-Gluon Plasma

Abstract

A few topics of the transport theory of quark-gluon plasma are reviewed. A derivation of the transport equations form the underlaying dynamical theory is discussed within the ${\varphi }^4$ model. Peculiarities of the kinetic equations of quarks and gluons are considered and the plasma (linear) response to the color field is studied. The chromoelectric tensor permeability is found and the plasma oscillations are discussed. Finally, the filamentation instability in the strongly anisotropic parton system from ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is discussed in detail.
