Study of quark-gluon plasma(QGP) has gained a lot of attention
since last three decades. It is expected to be one of the most
important and non trivial phase of hadronic matter under extreme
conditions. In this monograph the response functions of QGP and
their applications are studied in detail. This monograph contains
an elementary introduction of QGP, basics of kinetic theory,
coherent states in construction of the distribution function in
phase space. A framework to determine the response functions of QGP
is fixed. The explicit forms of the response functions for quarks
as well as gluons for the ideal and non-ideal plasma are obtained
separately. It is found that the response functions have two
components: (i) Abelian and (ii) non Abelian. If the non Abelian
interaction is switched off the non Abelian component vanishes. The
response due to the gluonic component shows a richer structure in
which it also possesses color tensor excitations. The static heavy
quark potential and screening in QGP are analysed. The melting
temperatures of heavy quarkonia are obtained. The Abelian and non
Abelian components of response functions show two separate kind of
Landau damping."
