Holography at finite cutoff with a T² deformation
read the original abstract
We generalize the $T\overline{T}$ deformation of CFT$_2$ to higher-dimensional large-$N$ CFTs, and show that in holographic theories, the resulting effective field theory matches semiclassical gravity in AdS with a finite radial cutoff. We also derive the deformation dual to arbitrary bulk matter theories. Generally, the deformations involve background fields as well as CFT operators. By keeping track of these background fields along the flow, we demonstrate how to match correlation functions on the two sides in some simple examples, as well as other observables.

Holographic Banners
Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

q-Askey Deformations of Double-Scaled SYK
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.

Butterflies in $\textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}}$ deformed anomalous CFT$_2$
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.

Timelike Liouville theory and AdS$_3$ gravity at finite cutoff
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.
