Description
I will review several GRB correlations reported in the literature and discuss possible physical mechanisms behind them. Topics to be covered include Amati/Yonetoku relations, Frail relation, Ghirlanda/Liang-Zhang relations, energy/luminosity-Lorentz factor (Liang-Lü relation), Dainotti relation, and several three-parameter fundamental-plane relations. These correlations provide hints on the jet composition, energy dissipation mechanism, jet structure, and central engine of GRBs.
