$T\bar T$ deformations and the pp wave correspondence

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-08-02 v4

Abstract

In this paper we consider TTˉT\bar T deformations in the context of pp waves obtained from gravity duals. We propose a deformation of AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 similar to the deformation of the single trace TTˉT\bar T deformation of AdS3×S3×T4AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4 with NS-NS flux, and study it through the Penrose limit, concluding that it must correspond to some dipole theory, probably noncommutative. We TTˉT\bar T deform the worldsheet string for the AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 pp wave, and find a corresponding spin chain Hamiltonian. Finally, directly TTˉT\bar T deforming the spin chain Hamiltonian obtained from the pp wave, we find that it corresponds to an equivalent BMN sector of the N=4{\cal N}=4 SYM.
