Out-of-equilibrium energy flow and steady state configurations in AdS/CFT

Abstract

We study out-of-equilibrium energy flow in a strongly coupled system by using the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we describe the appearance of a steady state connecting two asymptotic equilibrium systems. We obtain results within the linear response regime.
