What is the structure of the quark-gluon plasma near the critical temperature?
Abstract
I review recent lattice QCD results on the order of the phase transition, meson correlators, and thermodynamic functions for temperatures of the order of the critical temperature Tc. The conclusion is that non-perturbative phenomena dominate the behaviour of the quark-gluon plasma up to temperatures of about 2 Tc.
