Abstract

We study TT{T\overline{T}}-like deformations of d>2d>2 Yang-Mills theories. The standard TT{T\overline{T}} flows lead to multi-trace Lagrangians, and the non-Abelian gauge structures make it challenging to find Lagrangians in a closed form. However, within the geometric approach to TT{T\overline{T}}, we obtain the closed-form solution to the metric flow and stress-energy tensor, and show that instanton solutions are undeformed. We also introduce new symmetrised single-trace TT{T\overline{T}}-like deformations, whose solutions in d=4d=4 include the non-Abelian Born-Infeld Lagrangian proposed by Tseytlin in 1997.
