The textrm{T}bar{textrm{T}} perturbation and its geometric interpretation
read the original abstract
Starting from the recently-discovered $\textrm{T}\bar{\textrm{T}}$-perturbed Lagrangians, we prove that the deformed solutions to the classical EoMs for bosonic field theories are equivalent to the unperturbed ones but for a specific field-dependent local change of coordinates. This surprising geometric outcome is fully consistent with the identification of $\textrm{T}\bar{\textrm{T}}$-deformed 2D quantum field theories as topological JT gravity coupled to generic matter fields. Although our conclusion is valid for generic interacting potentials, it first emerged from a detailed study of the sine-Gordon model and in particular from the fact that solitonic pseudo-spherical surfaces embedded in $\mathbb R^3$ are left invariant by the deformation. Analytic and numerical results concerning the perturbation of specific sine-Gordon soliton solutions are presented.

Finite cutoff JT gravity: Baby universes, Matrix dual, and (Krylov) Complexity
