Abstract

We show that the three-dimensional asymptotically linear dilaton background that arises in the near-horizon decoupling region of NS5-branes compactified on T4T^4 admits boundary conditions that lead to an infinite set of symmetries. The associated conserved charges, which implement field-dependent coordinate transformations, are found to be identical to the corresponding generators in a symmetric product orbifold of TTˉT\bar T - deformed CFTs. Their algebra is a non-linear modification of the Virasoro×Virasoro\mathrm{Virasoro \times Virasoro} algebra, which precisely coincides with the algebra of the "unrescaled" symmetry generators in TTˉT\bar T-deformed CFTs. This further strengthens a previously proposed link between the single-trace TTˉT\bar T deformation and compactified little string theory.
