Abstract

We explore the JTˉJ\bar{T} and TJˉT\bar{J} deformations of two-dimensional field theories possessing N=(0,1),(1,1)\mathcal N=(0,1),(1,1) and (0,2)(0,2) supersymmetry. Based on the stress-tensor and flavor current multiplets, we construct various bilinear supersymmetric primary operators that induce the JTˉ/TJˉJ\bar{T}/T\bar{J} deformation in a manifestly supersymmetric way. Moreover, their supersymmetric descendants are shown to agree with the conventional JTˉ/TJˉJ\bar T /T\bar J operator on-shell. We also present some examples of JTˉ/TJˉJ\bar T /T\bar J flows arising from the supersymmetric deformation of free theories. Finally, we observe that all the deformation operators fit into a general pattern which generalizes the Smirnov-Zamolodchikov type composite operators.
