We review a selection of recent developments in the application of ideas of string theory to heavy ion physics. Our topics divide naturally into equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena. On the non-equilibrium side, we discuss generalizations of Bjorken flow, numerical simulations of black hole formation in asymptotically anti-de Sitter geometries, equilibration in the dual field theory, and hard probes. On the equilibrium side, we summarize improved holographic QCD, extraction of transport coefficients, inclusion of chemical potentials, and approaches to the phase diagram. We close with some possible directions for future research.read more

TL;DR: This report reviews the study of open heavy-flavour and quarkonium production in high-energy hadronic collisions, as tools to investigate fundamental aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics, from the proton and nucleus structure at high energy to deconfinement and the properties of the Quark–Gluon Plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
New theories of relativistic hydrodynamics in the LHC era
TL;DR: The success of relativistic hydrodynamics as an essential part of the phenomenological description of heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC has motivated a significant body of theoretical work concerning its fundamental aspects as discussed by the authors.

Angular Structure of Jet Quenching Within a Hybrid Strong/Weak Coupling Model
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of transverse momentum broadening on the angular distribution of the energy within jets in heavy ion collisions are studied, as partons within jet showers lose energy and get kicked as they traverse the strongly coupled plasma produced in the collision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holographic approach to quark–gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the application of the dual holographic approach to describing the quark-gluon plasma observed in high-energy collisions of relativistic heavy nuclei is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider renormalization group flows between conformal field theories in five (six) dimensions with a string (M-theory) dual and obtain continuous families of confining fourdimensional theories parametrized by the ratio Λflow/ΛQCD.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Anti De Sitter Space And Holography
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Kaluza-Klein modes of Type IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\times {\bf S}^5$ match with the chiral operators of the super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions.

Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.

Anti de sitter space and holography
TL;DR: In this article, a correspondence between conformal field theory observables and those of supergravity was proposed, where correlation functions in conformal fields are given by the dependence of the supergravity action on the asymptotic behavior at infinity.

Large N Field Theories, String Theory and Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory is discussed, focusing on the relation between compactifications of string theory on anti-de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories.
