Abstract
In this talk I review some selected applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence to the study of nonequillibrium dynamics of strongly coupled plasma. I briefly describe the AdS/CFT methods and five recent studies dealing with various features of plasma evolution, in particular the transition to hydrodynamics, thermalization, very high order hydrodynamics, the dynamics of shock wave collisions and preequilibrium radial flow.
