String theory

^{last updated: December 2014}

RESEARCH TOPICS

• Plasma physics aspects in strongly coupled non-equilibrium nuclear matter produced in collisions of heavy ions.
• Application of advanced methods of string theory to describe dynamics of strongly coupled gauge theories in the far-from-equilibrium regime (nuclear matter produced in collisions of heavy ions in the RHIC and LHC accelerators)

WORKS PERFORMED IN 2014

• Some new phenomenological equations that couple hydrodynamics modes with leading quasi-normal modes were proposed.
• The thermalization problem in strongly coupled Yang-Mills theory was investigated.
• Characteristics of the hydrodynamic atractors in the Israel-Stewart theory were investigated. 

RESEARCH TEAM

• Associate Professor Michał Spaliński
• Dr. Michał Heller
