It has been recently discovered that the $text{T}bar{text{T}}$ deformation is closely-related to Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. At classical level, the introduction of this perturbation induces an interaction between the stress-energy tensor and space-time and the deformed EoMs can be mapped, through a field-dependent change of coordinates, onto the corresponding undeformed ones. The effect of this perturbation on the quantum spectrum is non-perturbatively described by an inhomogeneous Burgers equation. In this paper, we point out that there exist infinite families of models where the geometry couples instead to generic combinations of local conserved currents labelled by the Lorentz spin. In spirit, these generalisations are similar to the $text{J}bar{text{T}}$ model as the resulting theories and the corresponding scattering phase factors are not Lorentz invariant. The link with the $text{J}bar{text{T}}$ model is discussed in detail. While the classical setup described here is very general, we shall use the sine-Gordon model and its CFT limit as explanatory quantum examples. Most of the final equations and considerations are, however, of broader validity or easily generalisable to more complicated systems.
We compute the Hagedorn temperature of $mu T bar T + varepsilon_+ J bar T + varepsilon_-T bar J$ deformed CFT using the universal kernel formula for the thermal partition function. We find a closed analytic expression for the free energy and the Hagedorn temperature as a function of $mu$, $varepsilon_+$, and $varepsilon_-$ for the case of a compact scalar boson by taking the large volume limit. We also compute the Hagedorn temperature for the single trace deformed $AdS_3 times S^1 times T^3 times S^3$ using holographic methods. We identify black hole configurations whose thermodynamics matches the functional dependence on $(mu, varepsilon_+, varepsilon_-)$ of the double trace deformed compact scalars.
The $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{H}(text{b}bar{text{b}})$ process is an essential channel to reveal the Higgs properties but has an irreducible background from the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ process, which produces a top quark pair in association with a b quark pair. Therefore, understanding the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ process is crucial for improving the sensitivity of a search for the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{H}(text{b}bar{text{b}})$ process. To this end, when measuring the differential cross-section of the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ process, we need to distinguish the b-jets originated from top quark decays, and additional b-jets originated from gluon splitting. Since there are no simple identification rules, we adopt deep learning methods to learn from data to identify the additional b-jets from the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ events. Specifically, by exploiting the special structure of the $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ event data, we propose several loss functions that can be minimized to directly increase the matching efficiency, the accuracy of identifying additional b-jets. We discuss the difference between our method and another deep learning-based approach based on binary classification arXiv:1910.14535 using synthetic data. We then verify that additional b-jets can be identified more accurately by increasing matching efficiency directly rather than the binary classification accuracy, using simulated $text{t}bar{text{t}}text{b}bar{text{b}}$ event data in the lepton+jets channel from pp collision at $sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV.
We present results of a computation of NLO QCD corrections to the production of an off-shell top--antitop pair in association with an off-shell $text{W}^+$ boson in proton--proton collisions. As the calculation is based on the full matrix elements for the process $text{p}text{p}to {text{e}}^+ u_{text{e}},mu^-bar{ u}_mu,tau^+ u_tau,{text{b}},bar{text{b}}$, all off-shell, spin-correlation, and interference effects are included. The NLO QCD corrections are about $20%$ for the integrated cross-section. Using a dynamical scale, the corrections to most distributions are at the same level, while some distributions show much larger $K$-factors in suppressed regions of phase space. We have performed a second calculation based on a double-pole approximation. While the corresponding results agree with the full calculation within few per cent for integrated cross-sections, the discrepancy can reach $10%$ and more in regions of phase space that are not dominated by top--antitop production. As a consequence, on-shell calculations should only be trusted to this level of accuracy.
We point out that the arguments of Zamolodchikov and others on the $Toverline T$ and similar deformations of two-dimensional field theories may be extended to the more general non-Lorentz invariant case, for example non-relativistic and Lifshitz-type theories. We derive results for the finite-size spectrum and $S$-matrix of the deformed theories.
In this work, we try to construct the Lax connections of $Tbar{T}$-deformed integrable field theories in two different ways. With reasonable assumptions, we make ansatz and find the Lax pairs in the $Tbar{T}$-deformed affine Toda theories and the principal chiral model by solving the Lax equations directly. This way is straightforward but maybe hard to apply for general models. We then make use of the dynamical coordinate transformation to read the Lax connection in the deformed theory from the undeformed one. We find that once the inverse of the transformation is available, the Lax connection can be read easily. We show the construction explicitly for a few classes of scalar models, and find consistency with the ones in the first way.
