Recently, researchers in high-energy and condensed matter physics have been investigating physics in the systems described by two-dimensional conformal field theories (2d CFTs) on the curved background. We have been investigating how the curved background influences non-equilibrium phenomena. In this talk, I will mainly report on how the curved background influences the subsystem thermalization. If possible, I will report on our other recent progress as well.
