$mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation was originally proposed as an irrelevant solvable deformation for 2d relativistic quantum field theories (QFTs). The same family of deformations can also be defined for integrable quantum spin chains which was first studied in the context of integrability in AdS/CFT. In this paper, we construct such deformations for yet another type of models, which describe a collection of particles moving in 1d and interacting in an integrable manner. The prototype of such models is the Lieb-Liniger model. This shows that such deformations can be defined for a very wide range of systems. We study the finite volume spectrum and thermodynamics of the $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$-deformed Lieb-Liniger model. We find that for one sign of the deformation parameter $(lambda<0)$, the deformed spectrum becomes complex when the volume of the system is smaller than certain critical value, signifying the break down of UV physics. For the other sign $(lambda>0)$, there exists an upper bound for the temperature, similar to the Hagedorn behavior of the $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformed QFTs. Both behaviors can be attributed to the fact that $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation changes the size the particles. We show that for $lambda>0$, the deformation increases the spaces between particles which effectively increases the volume of the system. For $lambda<0$, $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$ deformation fattens point particles to finite size hard rods. This is similar to the observation that the action of $mathrm{T}overline{mathrm{T}}$-deformed free boson is the Nambu-Goto action, which describes bosonic strings -- also an extended object with finite size.
We provide a simple geometric meaning for deformations of so-called $T{overline T}$ type in relativistic and non-relativistic systems. Deformations by the cross products of energy and momentum currents in integrable quantum field theories are known to modify the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations by a CDD factor. In turn, CDD factors may be interpreted as additional, fixed shifts incurred in scattering processes: a finite width added to the fundamental particles (or, if negative, to the free space between them). We suggest that this physical effect is a universal way of understanding $T{overline T}$ deformations, both in classical and quantum systems. We first show this in non-relativistic systems, with particle conservation and translation invariance, using the deformation formed out of the densities and currents of particles and momentum. This holds at the level of the equations of motion, and for any interaction potential, integrable or not. We then argue, and show by similar techniques in free relativistic particle systems, that $Toverline T$ deformations of relativistic systems produce the equivalent phenomenon, accounting for length contractions. We also show that, in both the relativistic and non-relativistic cases, the width of particles is equivalent to a state-dependent change of metric, where the distance function discounts the particles widths, or counts the additional free space. This generalises and explains the known field-dependent coordinate change describing $Toverline T$ deformations. The results connect such deformations with generalised hydrodynamics, where the relations between scattering shifts, widths of particles and state-dependent changes of metric have been established.
We derive the geodesic equation for determining the Ryu-Takayanagi surface in $AdS_3$ deformed by single trace $mu T bar T + varepsilon_+ J bar T + varepsilon_- T bar J$ deformation for generic values of $(mu, varepsilon_+, varepsilon_-)$ for which the background is free of singularities. For generic values of $varepsilon_pm$, Lorentz invariance is broken, and the Ryu-Takayanagi surface embeds non-trivially in time as well as spatial coordinates. We solve the geodesic equation and characterize the UV and IR behavior of the entanglement entropy and the Casini-Huerta $c$-function. We comment on various features of these observables in the $(mu, varepsilon_+, varepsilon_-)$ parameter space. We discuss the matching at leading order in small $(mu, varepsilon_+, varepsilon_-)$ expansion of the entanglement entropy between the single trace deformed holographic system and a class of double trace deformed theories where a strictly field theoretic analysis is possible. We also comment on expectation value of a large rectangular Wilson loop-like observable.
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.
We present here far-infrared photometry of galaxies in a sample that is relatively unexplored at these wavelengths: low-metallicity dwarf galaxies with moderate star formation rates. Four dwarf irregular galaxies from the $mathrm{L{small{ITTLE}}}$ $mathrm{T{small{HINGS}}}$ survey are considered, with deep $textit{Herschel}$ PACS and SPIRE observations at 100 $mu$m, 160 $mu$m, 250 $mu$m, 350 $mu$m, and 500 $mu$m. Results from modified-blackbody fits indicate that these galaxies have low dust masses and cooler dust temperatures than more actively star-forming dwarfs, occupying the lowest $L_mathrm{TIR}$ and $M_mathrm{dust}$ regimes seen among these samples. Dust-to-gas mass ratios of $sim$10$^{-5}$ are lower, overall, than in more massive and active galaxies, but are roughly consistent with the broken power law relation between the dust-to-gas ratio and metallicity found for other low-metallicity systems. Chemical evolution modeling suggests that these dwarf galaxies are likely forming very little dust via stars or grain growth, and have very high dust destruction rates.
Spin- and charge- stripe order has been extensively studied in the superconducting cuprates, among which underdoped ${mathrm{La}}_{2-x}{mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{mathrm{CuO}}_{4}$ (LSCO) is an archetype which has static spin density wave (SDW) order at low temperatures. An intriguing, but not completely understood, phenomenon in LSCO is that the stripes are not perfectly aligned with the high-symmetry Cu-Cu directions, but are tilted. Using high-resolution neutron scattering, we find that the model material LSCO with $x=0.12$ has two coexisting phases at low temperatures, one with static spin stripes and one with fluctuating spin stripes, where both phases have the same tilt angle. For the static SDW, we accurately determined the spin direction as well as the interlayer correlations. Moreover, we performed numerical calculations using the doped Hubbard model to explain the origin of the tilting of the stripes. The tilting is quantitatively accounted for with a next-nearest neighbor hopping $t^{prime}$ that is anisotropic, consistent with the slight orthorhombicity of the sample. Our results highlight the success of the doped Hubbard model to describe specific details of the ground state of a real material, as well as the importance of $t^prime$ in the Hamiltonian. These results further reveal how the stripes and superconductivity are sensitively intertwined at the level of model calculations as well as in experimental observations.
