We investigate the $Tbar{T}$ deformations of two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theories. More precisely, we show that, by using the conservation equations for the supercurrent multiplet, the $Tbar{T}$ deforming operator can be constructed as a supersymmetric descendant. Here we focus on $mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ and $mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ supersymmetry. As an example, we analyse in detail the $Tbar{T}$ deformation of a free $mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric action. We also argue that the link between $Tbar{T}$ and string theory can be extended to superstrings: by analysing the light-cone gauge fixing for superstrings in flat space, we show the correspondence of the string action to the $Tbar{T}$ deformation of a free theory of eight $mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ scalar multiplets on the nose. We comment on how these constructions relate to the geometrical interpretations of $Tbar{T}$ deformations that have recently been discussed in the literature.

We construct a solvable deformation of two-dimensional theories with $(2,2)$ supersymmetry using an irrelevant operator which is a bilinear in the supercurrents. This supercurrent-squared operator is manifestly supersymmetric, and equivalent to $Tbar{T}$ after using conservation laws. As illustrative examples, we deform theories involving a single $(2,2)$ chiral superfield. We show that the deformed free theory is on-shell equivalent to the $(2,2)$ Nambu-Goto action. At the classical level, models with a superpotential exhibit more surprising behavior: the deformed theory exhibits poles in the physical potential which modify the vacuum structure. This suggests that irrelevant deformations of $Toverline{T}$ type might also affect infrared physics.
We explore the $Jbar{T}$ and $Tbar{J}$ deformations of two-dimensional field theories possessing $mathcal N=(0,1),(1,1)$ and $(0,2)$ supersymmetry. Based on the stress-tensor and flavor current multiplets, we construct various bilinear supersymmetric primary operators that induce the $Jbar{T}/Tbar{J}$ deformation in a manifestly supersymmetric way. Moreover, their supersymmetric descendants are shown to agree with the conventional $Jbar T /Tbar J$ operator on-shell. We also present some examples of $Jbar T /Tbar J$ flows arising from the supersymmetric deformation of free theories. Finally, we observe that all the deformation operators fit into a general pattern which generalizes the Smirnov-Zamolodchikov type composite operators.
In this paper, we continue the study of $Tbar{T}$ deformation in $d=1$ quantum mechanical systems and propose possible analogues of $Jbar{T}$ deformation and deformation by a general linear combination of $Tbar{T}$ and $Jbar{T}$ in quantum mechanics. We construct flow equations for the partition functions of the deformed theory, the solutions to which yields the deformed partition functions as integral of the undeformed partition function weighted by some kernels. The kernel formula turns out to be very useful in studying the deformed two-point functions and analyzing the thermodynamics of the deformed theory. Finally, we show that a non-perturbative UV completion of the deformed theory is given by minimally coupling the undeformed theory to worldline gravity and $U(1)$ gauge theory.
We consider the most general set of integrable deformations extending the $Tbar{T}$ deformation of two-dimensional relativistic QFTs. They are CDD deformations of the theorys factorised S-matrix related to the higher-spin conserved charges. Using a mirror version of the generalised Gibbs ensemble, we write down the finite-volume expectation value of the higher-spin charges, and derive a generalised flow equation that every charge must obey under a generalised $Tbar{T}$ deformation. This also reproduces the known flow equations on the nose.
String theory on AdS$_3$ with NS-NS fluxes admits a solvable irrelevant deformation which is close to the $Tbar{T}$ deformation of the dual CFT$_2$. This consists of deforming the worldsheet action, namely the action of the $SL(2,mathbb{R})$ WZW model, by adding to it the operator $J^-bar{J}^-$, constructed with two Kac-Moody currents. The geometrical interpretation of the resulting theory is that of strings on a conformally flat background that interpolates between AdS$_3$ in the IR and a flat linear dilaton spacetime with Hagedorn spectrum in the UV, having passed through a transition region of positive curvature. Here, we study the properties of this string background both from the point of view of the low-energy effective theory and of the worldsheet CFT. We first study the geometrical properties of the semiclassical geometry, then we revise the computation of correlation functions and of the spectrum of the $J^-bar{J}^-$-deformed worldsheet theory, and finally we discuss how to extend this type of current-current deformation to other conformal models.
