We propose a generalisation of the $T \bar{T}$ deformation to curved spaces by defining, and solving, a suitable flow equation for the partition function. We provide evidence it is well-defined at the quantum level. This proposal…

Given a model for self-dual non-linear electrodynamics in four spacetime dimensions, any deformation of this theory which is constructed from the duality-invariant energy-momentum tensor preserves duality invariance. In this work we present…

We construct the metric-affine analogue of the quadratic degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories. We begin with the metric-affine completion of the quadratic DHOST scalar-tensor action, which is linear in curvature and…

We construct the tensor hierarchies of generic, bosonic, 5- and 6-dimensional field theories. The construction of the tensor hierarchy starts with the introduction of two tensors: the embedding tensor which tells us which vector is used for…

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…

It has recently been proposed that Zamoldchikov's $T \bar{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional CFTs describes the holographic theory dual to AdS$_3$ at finite radius. In this note we use the Gauss-Codazzi form of the Einstein equations to…

We construct a family of metric-deformed gauge theories based on a recently introduced $q$-Dirac operator $D_q = \gamma^\mu \sqrt{|g^{\mu\mu}|}\partial_\mu$, which arises from a deformed D'Alembertian $\Box_q = |g^{00}|\partial_t^2 - \sum_i…
