Glue-on AdS holography for T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformed CFTs

Abstract The T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformation is a solvable irrelevant deformation whose properties depend on the sign of the deformation parameter μ.

Description
Summary:Abstract The T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformation is a solvable irrelevant deformation whose properties depend on the sign of the deformation parameter μ. In particular, T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformed CFTs with μ < 0 have been proposed to be holographically dual to Einstein gravity where the metric satisfies Dirichlet boundary conditions at a finite cutoff surface. In this paper, we put forward a holographic proposal for T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformed CFTs with μ > 0, in which case the bulk geometry is constructed by gluing a patch of AdS3 to the original spacetime. As evidence, we show that the T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ trace flow equation, the spectrum on the cylinder, and the partition function on the torus and the sphere, among other results, can all be reproduced from bulk calculations in glue-on AdS3.
