Heavy-ion collisions at BNL's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and CERN's Large Hadron
Collider provide strong evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma, with …

In the last few years, numerical simulations of Quantum chromodynamics on the lattice have
reached a new level of accuracy. A wide range of thermodynamic quantities is now available …

In this review article, we discuss the current status and future prospects of perturbation
theory as a means of studying the equilibrium thermodynamic and near-equilibrium …

We numerically solve the (2+ 1)-dimensional effective kinetic theory of weak coupling QCD
under longitudinal expansion, relevant for early stages of heavy-ion collisions. We find …

This article summarizes our present knowledge about nuclear matter at the highest energy
densities and its formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review what is known about …

Hot QCD physics studies the nuclear strong force under extreme temperature and densities.
Experimentally these conditions are achieved via high-energy collisions of heavy ions at the …

We study thermalization, hydrodynamization, and chemical equilibration in out-of-
equilibrium quark-gluon plasma starting from various initial conditions using QCD effective …

A bstract We compute the shear viscosity of QCD with matter, including almost all next-to-
leading order corrections—that is, corrections suppressed by one power of g relative to …

We compute the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient κ using QCD kinetic theory for
a system going through bottom-up isotropization in the initial stages of a heavy ion collision …

A bstract We present a direct comparison studying equilibration through kinetic theory at
weak coupling and through holography at strong coupling in the same set-up. The set-up …
