Description
Driven Conformal Field Theories (CFTs), where Hamiltonians alternate periodically (Floquet CFTs) or change abruptly (Quench), have emerged as a versatile platform for exploring non-equilibrium phenomena in soluble systems. We investigate the holographic dual of a large $c$ CFT in two-dimensions, initialized in a thermal state and subject to a generic deformation by $SL^{(q)}(2,R)$ generators. We analyze the evolution of the corresponding event horizons and energy densities across the phases - heating, non-heating -- as well as on the phase boundary. The black hole horizon evolution mirrors the energy density behavior, revealing the underlying correspondence between the bulk and the boundary dynamics. Furthermore we examine the Killing horizons of CFT quenches driven by elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic hamiltonians, observing distinct behaviours in the norm of the killing vectors. We also extend this analysis for geometries which are asymptotically $AdS_3$ and observe the same behavior in the norm of the asymptotic killing vectors.
