We study the torus partition function of the SL(2,R)/U(1) SUSY gauged WZW model coupled to N=2 U(1) current. Starting from the path-integral formulation of the theory, we introduce an infra-red regularization which preserves good modular…

We study Density Functional Theory models for systems which are translationally invariant in some directions, such as a homogeneous 2-d slab in the 3-d space. We show how the different terms of the energy are modified and we derive reduced…

We investigate the $T\bar{T}$-like flows for non-linear electrodynamic theories in $D(=\!\!2n)$-dimensional spacetime. Our analysis is restricted to the deformation problem of the classical free action by employing the proposed $T\bar{T}$…

This review explores recent advances in the theory of $T\bar{T}$ deformation, an irrelevant yet solvable deformation of quantum field theories defined via the quadratic form of the energy-momentum tensor. It addresses classical and quantum…

In this paper we consider the energy and momentum transport in (1+1)-dimension conformal field theories (CFTs) that are deformed by an irrelevant operator $T\bar{T}$, using the integrability based generalized hydrodynamics, and holography.…

We continue the study of a recently proposed solvable irrelevant deformation of an AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence that leads in the UV to a theory with Hagedorn spectrum. This can be thought of as a single trace analog of the…

We explore whether one can $T \overline{T}$ deform a collection of theories that are already $T \overline{T}$-deformed. This allows us to define classes of irrelevant deformations that know about subsystems. In some basic cases, we explore…

$T\overline{T}$-deformed two-dimensional quantum Maxwell theory on the torus is examined, taking into account nonperturbative effects in the deformation parameter $\mu$. We study the deformed partition function solving the relevant flow…

Modular equations occur in number theory, but it is less known that such equations also occur in the study of deformation properties of quasiconformal mappings. The authors study two important plane quasiconformal distortion functions,…

We generalize the $T\overline{T}$ deformation of CFT$_2$ to higher-dimensional large-$N$ CFTs, and show that in holographic theories, the resulting effective field theory matches semiclassical gravity in AdS with a finite radial cutoff. We…

We propose a reformulation of the conformal perturbation theory of the correlation functions in $J\bar{J}$-deformed CFTs as a dressing on the deformed operators, that matches both bare and renormalized perturbation theory. The key is to use…

We consider deformations of CFTs from the perspective of parallel transport in moduli space. In particular, we show how the deformations of individual operators can be computed and we also explore how these ideas can be extended to more…
