Description

Nonthermal fixed points are paradigmatic far-from-equilibrium phenomena, relevant experimentally in cold atomic gases and theoretically in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions and cosmology. I will show how insights from other areas, including holographic studies of thermalization, enable predictions of new features and phenomena associated with their self-similar time evolution.
