Stress-tensor deformations suggest a geometric origin of emergent gravity but are typically non-local for $d>2$. We couple a seed QFT to Einstein gravity with deformation parameter $\lambda$ and evaluate the gravitational path integral at…

Motivated by the two-dimensional massive gravity description of $T\overline{T}$ deformations, we propose a direct generalization in $d$ dimensions. Our methodology indicates that all terms up to order $d$ are present in the deformation. In…

We present a semiclassical framework in which stress-tensor deformations of a quantum field theory (QFT) reorganize into a gravitational action evaluated at a metric saddle. The deformed partition function can be written as a gravitational…

We identify the unique stress tensor deformation which preserves zero-birefringence conditions in non-linear electrodynamics, which is a $4d$ version of the ${T\overline{T}}$ operator. We study the flows driven by this operator in the three…

The $T\bar{T}$ deformation can be formulated as a dynamical change of coordinates. We establish and generalize this relation to curved spaces by coupling the undeformed theory to 2d gravity. For curved space the dynamical change of…
