$T\overline{T}$ deformation in SCFTs and integrable supersymmetric theories
Abstract
We calculate the -multiplets for two-dimensional Euclidean and superconformal field theories under the deformation at leading order of perturbation theory in the deformation coupling. Then, from these deformed multiplets, we calculate two- and three-point correlators. We show the chiral ring's elements do not flow under the deformation. Specializing to integrable supersymmetric seed theories, such as Landau-Ginzburg models, we use the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz to study the S-matrices and ground state energies. From both an S-matrix perspective and Melzer's folding prescription, we show that the deformed ground state energy obeys the inviscid Burgers' equation. Finally, we show that several indices independent of -term perturbations including the Witten index, Cecotti-Fendley-Intriligator-Vafa index and elliptic genus do not flow under the deformation.
