We demonstrate the presence of modular properties in partition functions of $T\bar{T}$ deformed conformal field theories. These properties are verified explicitly for the deformed free boson. The modular features facilitate a derivation of the asymptotic density of states in these theories, which turns out to interpolate between Cardy and Hagedorn behaviours. We also point out a sub-sector of the spectrum that remains undeformed under the $T\bar{T}$ flow. Finally, we comment on the deformation of the CFT vacuum character and its implications for the holographic dual.

  1. Beyond Hagedorn: A Harmonic Approach to $T\bar{T}$-deformation

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    TTbar-deformed CFT torus partition functions are expressed via spectral decomposition into Maass forms that deform simply, enabling analytic continuation beyond the Hagedorn singularity.

    Deformed two-point correlators in mixed TbarT/root-TbarT CFTs admit an explicit kernel representation as weighted averages of undeformed CFT correlators over conformal dimensions, with the two-point function obtained ...

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.
