Computation of time-dependent processes at strongly coupled phase transitions.

Demonstrates holography's effectiveness in strongly coupled gauge dynamics.

Abstract

Holography provides a powerful tool to model QCD and other strongly coupled gauge dynamics. As examples of its power to compute in novel environments I review some recent results: these include models of the phase structure of QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential; and computation of time dependent processes at strongly coupled phase transitions.
