Strongly correlated systems far from equilibrium can exhibit scaling solutions with a dynamically generated weak coupling. We show this by investigating isolated systems described by relativistic quantum field theories for initial conditions leading to nonequilibrium instabilities, such as parametric resonance or spinodal decomposition. The non-thermal fixed points prevent fast thermalization if classical-statistical fluctuations dominate over quantum fluctuations. We comment on the possible significance of these results for the heating of the early universe after inflation and the question of fast thermalization in heavy-ion collision experiments.

Quasinormal modes of nonthermal fixed points
Perturbations around nonthermal fixed points obey a quasinormal-mode eigenvalue problem, and for a Fokker-Planck collision kernel the spectrum is a tower of purely imaginary frequencies.

Weak and strong turbulence in self-focusing and defocusing media
One-loop wave interactions steepen the spectrum in defocusing media and flatten it in focusing media, and large-N analysis yields new strong-turbulence spectra.

Attractor of hydrodynamic attractors
Second- and higher-order hydrodynamic attractors converge to the same universal curve before the Navier-Stokes limit, with the leading correction controlled only by second-order coefficients.
