     In cases where ${\displaystyle H_{*}}$ is ergodic, the driven system prethermalizes to a thermal state described by ${\displaystyle H_{*}}$ at intermediate times ${\displaystyle t\lesssim \tau _{*}}$, eventually heating up to an infinite-temperature state at times ${\displaystyle t\sim \tau _{*}}$.
