Irrelevant Deformations with Boundaries and Defects

High Energy Physics - Theory 2022-05-11 v1

Abstract

We initiate the study of TTˉT\bar T-like irrelevant solvable deformations in quantum field theory with boundaries and defects. For this purpose, we employ a general formalism developed in the context of spin chains, which allows us to derive both, the deformed bulk and boundary/defect scattering matrices of integrable models. Using the deformed scattering matrices, we derive the flow equation for the deformed finite volume spectrum, as well as the cylinder partition function and the exact gg-function.
