We consider several aspects of unitary higher-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). We first study massive deformations that trigger a flow to a gapped phase. Deep inelastic scattering in the gapped phase leads to a convexity…

The AdS/CFT correspondence relates deformations of the CFT by "multi-trace operators" to "non-local string theories". The deformed theories seem to have non-local interactions in the compact directions of space-time; in the gravity…

Motivated by the recent work on $T\bar{T}$-type deformations of 2D CFTs, a especial class of single-trace deformations of AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ correspondence has been investigated. From the worldsheet perspective, this corresponds to a marginal…

We consider the most general set of integrable deformations extending the $T\bar{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional relativistic QFTs. They are CDD deformations of the theory's factorised S-matrix related to the higher-spin conserved…

We calculate quantum corrections to holographic entanglement entropy in the proposed duality between $T\bar{T}$-deformed holographic 2D CFTs and gravity in AdS$_{3}$ with a finite cutoff. We first establish the dictionary between the two…

We revisit $T\bar T$ deformations of $d=2$ theories with fermions with a view toward the quantization. As a simple illustration, we compute the deformed Dirac bracket for a Majorana doublet and confirm the known eigenvalue flows…

We propose a symmetry of $T\bar T$ deformed 2D CFT, which preserves the trace relation. The deformed conformal killing equation is obtained. Once we consider the background metric runs with the deformation parameter $\mu$, the deformation…

Warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are two-dimensional non-relativistic systems, with a chiral scaling and shift symmetry. We present a detailed derivation of the near-extremal limit for their torus partition function. This limit…

Two dimensional conformal field theories with large central charge and a sparse low-lying spectrum are expected to admit a classical string holographic dual. We construct a large class of such theories employing permutation orbifold…

We study $ \text{T}\overline{\text{T}} $ deformations of chiral bosons using the formalism due to Sen. For arbitrary numbers of left- and right-chiral bosons, we find that the $ \text{T}\overline{\text{T}} $-deformed Lagrangian can be…

Recently, the ModMax theory has been proposed as a unique conformal nonlinear extension of electrodynamics. We have shown in [1] that this modification can be reproduced a marginal $T\bar{T}$-like deformation from pure Maxwell theory.…

We consider current-current deformations that generalise $T\bar{T}$ ones, and show that they may be also introduced for integrable spin chains. In analogy with the integrable QFT setup, we define the deformation as a modification of the S…

Various holographic set-ups in string theory suggest the existence of non-local, UV complete two-dimensional QFTs that possess Virasoro symmetry, in spite of their non-locality. We argue that $J\bar T$-deformed CFTs are the first concrete…
