The dynamical development of the cooling and hadronizing quark-gluon Plasma
(QGP) is studied in a simple model assuming critical fluctuations in the QGP to
Hadronic Matter (HM) and a first order transition in a small finite system. We
consider an earlier determined free-energy density curve in the neighbourhood
of the critical point, with two local...

Lattice data for the QCD equation of state and the magnetic susceptibility
computed near the crossover phase transition (at zero magnetic field) are used
to determine the input parameters of a five dimensional
Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic model. Once the model parameters are fixed
at zero magnetic field, one can use this holographic constru...
The conditions for the development of a Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI)
for the Quark-gluon Plasma (QGP) flow in a peripheral heavy-ion collision is
investigated. The projectile and target side particles are separated by an
energetically motivated hypothetical surface, characterized with a
phenomenological surface tension. In such a view, a clas...

In the context of the Hagedorn temperature half-centenary I describe our
understanding of the hot phases of hadronic matter both below and above the
Hagedorn temperature. The first part of the review addresses many frequently
posed questions about properties of hadronic matter in different phases, phase
transition and the exploration of quark-gluon plasma (QGP). The historical
context of the discovery of QGP is shown and the role of strangeness and
strange antibaryon signature of QGP illustrated. In the second part I discuss
the corresponding theoretical ideas and show how experimental results can be
used to describe the properties of QGP at hadronization. Finally in two
appendices I present previously unpublished reports describing the early
prediction of the different forms of hadron matter and of the formation of QGP
in relativistic heavy ion collisions, including the initial prediction of
strangeness and in particular strange antibaryon signature of QGP.
