Strange Quark Matter Theory

Abstract

Theoretical approaches to strange and other types of quark matter accounted for at the SQM2003 Meeting are reviewed. They range from simple statistical models through perturbative QCD supported mico-dynamical simulations til lattice gauge theory and astrophysics results. Finally some ideas for future research in this field are outlined.Comment: Theory summary talk given at Strange Quark Matter 2003 Conference, March 12-17, 2003, Atlantic Beach, NC, USA.
