Abstract

The light-cone gauge approach to TTT{\overline T} deformed models is generalised to models deformed by U(1) conserved currents JαJ^\alpha, J~α\widetilde J^\alpha, stress-energy tensor TαβT^\alpha{}_\beta, and their various quadratic combinations of the form ϵαβK1αK2β\epsilon_{\alpha\beta} K_1^\alpha K_2^\beta. It is then applied to derive a ten-parameter deformed Hamiltonian for a system of scalars with an arbitrary potential, the flow equations for the Hamiltonian density, and the flow equations for the energy of the deformed model. The flow equations disagree with the ones recently proposed in arXiv:1903.07606. The results obtained are applied to analyse a CFT with left- and right-moving conserved currents deformed by these operators. It is shown that with a proper choice of the parameter of the TTT{\overline T} deformation the deformed CFT Hamiltonian density is independent of the parameters of the JΘJ\Theta and JˉΘ\bar J\overline \Theta deformations. This leads to the existence of two extra relations which generalise the JΘ=0J\Theta=0 and JˉΘ=0\bar J\overline \Theta=0 relations of the undeformed CFT. The spectrum of the deformed CFT is found and shown to satisfy the flow equations.
