The T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformation of quantum field theory as random geometry

Abstract 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 T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ . Infinitesimally this is equivalent to a random coordinate transformation, with a l...
