Abstract

We propose a holographic dual of boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) with TTˉT\bar T deformation, i.e. of TTˉT\bar T BCFT. Our holographic proposal distinguishes two types of TTˉT\bar T BCFTs, depending on whether the TTˉT\bar T deformation deforms the boundary. For the boundary-deformed case, we find that boundary entropy serves as an effective measure to quantify the impact of boundary deformation. In this scenario, we calculate the energy spectrum for the TTˉT\bar T BCFT within a finite interval to support the proposed dual. For the boundary-undeformed case, we calculate the entanglement entropy and R\'enyi entropy from both the field theory side and the gravity side, and find that they match.
