The Anti-de Sitter / Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence that arises in string theory has had implications for the study of phenomena across a range of subfields in physics, from spacetime geometry to the behavior of condensed matter systems. Two major themes that have featured prominently in these investigations have been the behavior of systems out of equilibrium, and the emergence of spacetime. In this thesis, aspects of these themes are considered and analyzed.

520 $a The Anti-de Sitter / Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence that arises in string theory has had implications for the study of phenomena across a range of subfields in physics, from spacetime geometry to the behavior of condensed matter systems. Two major themes that have featured prominently in these investigations have been the behavior of systems out of equilibrium, and the emergence of spacetime. In this thesis, aspects of these themes are considered and analyzed.
520 $a The question of equilibration and thermalization in 2D conformal field theories is addressed and refined via a number of observations about local versus global thermalization in such systems, the validity of particular diagnostics of thermalization, the dependence of the equilibration behavior of a conformal field theory on its operator spectrum, and the holographic dual of the generalized Gibbs ensemble that is of interest in studies of equilibration in systems with a large number of conserved quantities. A formalism for analyzing the non-equilibrium dynamics of 1+1-dimensional conformal field theories is discussed, and its physical relevance is motivated with an example connecting such a system to an experimental system that exhibited unusual equilibration behavior. Qualitative agreement is demonstrated between the CFT picture and the experimental observations.
520 $a The emergence of spacetime geometry from quantum entanglement, while largely a byproduct of considerations from holographic dualities, has also been proposed to have a direct, non-holographic manifestation. Here a particular realization of such a direct emergence is presented through a demonstration that, in the presence of quantum entanglement alone, certain observations of electric fields in the entangled system appear qualitatively the same as the corresponding observations in a physically-connected geometric spacetime, so that the entanglement effectively mimics particular features associated with geometric connectivity.
