Contribution
It provides an overview of theoretical developments and open questions in the study of quark-gluon plasma and the application of gauge/gravity duality.
Findings
Insights into why sQGP behaves as a good liquid
Understanding of (de)confinement and magnetic objects
Potential experimental tests of AdS/CFT predictions
Abstract
As implied by organizers, this talk is not a conference summary but rather an outline of progress/challenges/``frontiers'' of the theory. Some fundamental questions addressed are: Why is sQGP such a good liquid? Do we understand (de)confinement and what do we know about ``magnetic'' objects creating it? Can we understand the AdS/CFT predictions, from the gauge theory side? Can they be tested experimentally? Can AdS/CFT duality help us understand rapid equilibration/entropy production? Can we work out a complete dynamical ``gravity dual'' to heavy ion collisions?
