abstract
Recent work by Zamolodchikov and others has uncovered a solvable irrelevant deformation of general 2D CFTs, defined by turning on the dimension 4 operator $T \bar T$, the product of the left- and right-moving stress tensor. We propose that in the holographic dual, this deformation represents a geometric cutoff that removes the asymptotic region of AdS and places the QFT on a Dirichlet wall at finite radial distance $r = r_c$ in the bulk. As a quantitative check of the proposed duality, we compute the signal propagation speed, energy spectrum, and thermodynamic relations on both sides. In all cases, we obtain a precise match. We derive an exact RG flow equation for the metric dependence of the effective action of the $T \bar T$ deformed theory, and find that it coincides with the Hamilton-Jacobi equation that governs the radial evolution of the classical gravity action in AdS.

Reformulates J bar J deformation in CFTs as Riemann-bilinear operator dressing that preserves modular properties on Riemann surfaces and matches bare/renormalized perturbation theory.
q-Askey deformations of double-scaled SYK yield transfer matrices for orthogonal polynomials whose semiclassical chord dynamics map to ER bridges and new geometric transitions in sine dilaton gravity.
TTbar-deformed CFT torus partition functions are expressed via spectral decomposition into Maass forms that deform simply, enabling analytic continuation beyond the Hagedorn singularity.
In TTbar-deformed anomalous CFT2 the chaos bound stays saturated while butterfly velocity depends nontrivially on deformation strength and anomaly, with a Hagedorn regime where the chaotic response turns complex.
Holographic RG flow induces gravity by evolving boundary conditions from rigid Dirichlet to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann, generating an Einstein-Hilbert term and evading the Weinberg-Witten theorem.
Deformations of the double-scaled SYK model via finite-cutoff holography produce Krylov complexity as wormhole length and realize Susskind's stretched horizon proposal through targeted T² deformations in the high-energy spectrum.
Derives forced KdV equation from Chern-Simons 3D gravity with chiral boundaries, with forcing set by Schrödinger eigenfunctions, and solves reflectionless and radiative sectors via inverse scattering.
Proposes that AdS3 gravity at finite cutoff is dual to a CFT2 coupled to timelike Liouville theory deformed by a marginal operator, with checks via semiclassical partition functions and EOM matching.
Inhomogeneous torus boundaries in 3D gravity are thermodynamically favourable for AdS in the range 2 < K |Λ|^{-1/2} < 3/√2 and support macroscopic entropy for all Λ.
Using two timelike boundaries and a nearly maximally entangled thermofield double state from dressed de Sitter Hamiltonian theories, the authors construct wavefunctions for extended cosmological spacetimes that include the future wedge and resolve entanglement entropy issues via 3D constrained path
Gauss-Bonnet corrections to the complete volume proposal introduce a competition effect in static black holes while preserving momentum-governed growth rates and logarithmic scrambling times in dynamical Vaidya geometries.
Introduces a holographic pressure and volume for static spherically symmetric black holes via quasi-local thermodynamics, showing large black holes become extensive in the large-system limit while small ones do not.
Finite cutoff in JT gravity causes faster ERB-length saturation, deformation-dependent baby-universe emission only under Lorentzian evolution, and possible one-cut universality corrections in the matrix dual.
Poly-vector deformations of Type II and 11D backgrounds induce TTbar-like flows on the world-volume theories of strings and branes for both abelian and non-abelian deformations.
