Abstract

We calculate the S\mathcal{S}-multiplets for two-dimensional Euclidean N=(0,2)\mathcal{N}=(0,2) and N=(2,2)\mathcal{N} = (2,2) superconformal field theories under the TTT\overline{T} deformation at leading order of perturbation theory in the deformation coupling. Then, from these N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0, 2) deformed multiplets, we calculate two- and three-point correlators. We show the N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0,2) chiral ring's elements do not flow under the TTT\overline{T} deformation. Specializing to integrable supersymmetric seed theories, such as N=(2,2)\mathcal{N} = (2,2) 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 DD-term perturbations including the Witten index, Cecotti-Fendley-Intriligator-Vafa index and elliptic genus do not flow under the TTT\overline{T} deformation.
