  "abstract": "Prethermalization refers to the remarkable relaxation behavior which an integrable many-body system in the presence of a weak integrability-breaking perturbation may exhibit: After initial transients have died out, it stays for a long time close to some non-thermal steady state, but on even much larger time scales it ultimately switches over to the proper thermal equilibrium behavior. By extending Deutsch's conceptual framework from Phys. Rev. A 43, 2046 (1991), we analytically predict that prethermalization is a typical feature for a very general class of such weakly perturbed systems.",
