Quark-Gluon Plasma - New Frontiers

Understand

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?
