Abstract
This manuscript reviews recent theoretical progress on the understanding of the quark gluon plasma in a magnetic field that I presented on the conference Hot Quarks 2016, held at South Padre Island, Texas, USA, 12-17 September 2016. It is shown that, using a holographic bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton model, one can have a good quantitative agreement with Lattice result for QCD equation of state and Polyakov loop with nonzero magnetic field. I also present results for the anisotropic shear viscosity ratio η||/η⊥, with the conclusion that η|| < η⊥ for non-zero magnetic field.
Highlights
The early stages of noncentral ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions produce extremely large magnetic fields
Near the crossover region [5], i.e. the strongly coupled regime of QCD, weak coupling calculations are not applicable and one has to decide what effective model to use in order to study fundamental properties of the quark gluon plasma (QGP)
Supersymmetry is broken when the temperature is introduced, QCD is definitely not conformal near the crossover region and, in phenomenological applications to QGP physics it is necessary to go beyond conformal modeling [13]
Summary
The early stages of noncentral ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions produce extremely large magnetic fields (see the review [1]). Such extreme value of magnetic field has sparked great interest on its role on the dynamics of the strongly interacting quark gluon plasma (QGP) [2, 3] formed in heavy ion collisions.
