Abstract

We investigate several possible generalisations of TTT\overline{T} deformations to three- and higher-dimensional field theories. Starting from the two-dimensional TTT\overline{T} flow, we work out its higher-dimensional uplift, which results in a non-local and non-isotropic three-dimensional theory. Starting instead from the relation between the Nambu-Goto action and TTT\overline{T} in d=2d=2, we study the flow equation obeyed by the Dirac-Nambu-Goto actions in d>2d>2 dimensions, written in terms of the stress-energy tensor only. Similarly, we derive the stress-tensor flow obeyed by the Born-Infeld actions in dd dimensions and by the Dirac-Born-Infeld actions in d=2d=2 and d=3d=3.
