The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading experts working on matter in extreme conditions as found in the early Universe, the interior of compact stars, and quark-gluon plasma produced in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The workshop will foster collaboration between researchers studying thermal field theories in and out-off equilibrium using perturbative and non-perturbative (including lattice) techniques, and the researchers using gauge theory-string theory correspondence as a tool to understand strongly coupled gauge theory dynamics at finite temperature and density.
