Abstract

We explore TTT \overline T deformations of Warped Conformal Field Theories (WCFTs) in two dimensions as examples of TTT\overline T deformed non-relativistic quantum field theories. WCFTs are quantum field theories with a Virasoro×\timesU(1) Kac-Moody symmetry. We compute the deformed symmetry algebra of a TTT\overline T deformed holographic WCFT, using the asymptotic symmetries of AdS3_3 with TTT \overline T deformed Comp\'ere, Song and Strominger (CSS) boundary conditions. The U(1) Kac-Moody symmetry survives provided one allows the boundary metric to transform under the asymptotic symmetry. The Virasoro sector remains but is now deformed and no longer chiral.
