We discuss two different scenarios: (i) a weakly coupled quark gluon plasma (pQGP) described by hard-thermal loop (HTL) perturbation theory and (ii) a scenario where the plasma has the properties of a quantum liquid. We show that Mach cones can appear in the second scenario, but not in the first one.4 pages, poster proceedings for Quark Matter 2005High Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
