Description
The plasma generated in heavy ion collisions goes through different phases in its time evolution. While early times right after the collision are governed by far-from equilibrium dynamics, later times are believed to be well described by near-equilibrium dynamics. While the regimes of non-equilibrium are prohibitively complicated to describe within QCD, effective descriptions such as hydrodynamics provide a viable approach. In addition, holographic descriptions allow access to the full non-equilibrium dynamics at strong coupling. In this presentation, we review three examples of such hydrodynamic approaches and corresponding holographic descriptions: 1) propagation of non-equilibrium sound waves, 2) the non-equilibrium chiral magnetic effect, and 3) non-equilibrium shear viscosity.
