Eduardo S. Fraga
QCD under Extreme Conditions
First lecture:
★ First question you should ask: WHY??
‣ Motivation and some disturbing facts
Collective effects x “fundamental” physics
★ Second question you should ask: WHERE??
‣ Accelerator experiments, astro, early universe
My focus: the EoS
★ Third question you should ask: HOW??
‣ Theory, models, etc
Second lecture:
★ Effective model building
★ Z(N), the Polyakov loop, and confinement
★ Chiral symmetry breaking
★ Two examples on relevance and difficulties in exploring
the phase diagram
‣ Chiral magnetic effect and the strong CP problem
‣ Drawing the phase diagram
★ Final comments
