Abstract:
I will consider properties of a non
equilibrium steady state generated by
placing two initial heat baths in contact
with each other. The dynamics of the
system under consideration are governed
by a conformal field theory. When the
number of spacetime dimensions is very
large the equations of motion for the
system simplify. The “phase diagram”
associated with the steady state, the dual,
dynamical, black hole description of this
problem, and its relation to the
fluid/gravity correspondence will be
discussed.
