Abstract

We conjecture a universal formula for the heat current of a steady state connecting two asymptotic equilibrium systems in d-dimensional conformal field theories. Our proposal is verified by comparing it to exact expressions in 1 + 1 dimensions and linear hydrodynamics as well as numerical simulations in an Israel-Stewart like theory of second order viscous hydrodynamics.
