Description
Over the past decades relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments have revealed exciting properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. While a first principle theoretical description of the space-time dynamics of a heavy-ion collision remains an outstanding challenge, significant progress has been achieved and I will discuss recent theoretical developments in this direction. Specifically, I will focus on recent progress in understanding the early-time pre-equilibrium dynamics and theoretical challenges in describing collective phenomena in p+p/A collisions.
