We show that the $T \overline{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theory on $\mathrm{AdS}_2$ is well-defined and solvable at the quantum level. Flow equations for the energy spectrum and partition function are derived in…

We revisit the results of Zamolodchikov and others on the deformation of two-dimensional quantum field theory by the determinant $\det T$ of the stress tensor, commonly referred to as $T\overline T$. Infinitesimally this is equivalent to a…

We investigate several possible generalisations of $T\overline{T}$ deformations to three- and higher-dimensional field theories. Starting from the two-dimensional $T\overline{T}$ flow, we work out its higher-dimensional uplift, which…
