摘要
This review explores recent advances in the theory of TT deformation,an irrelevant yet solvable deformation of quantum field theories defined via the quadratic form of the energy-momentum tensor.It addresses classical and quantum aspects,highlighting significant developments across various fields,including field theory,holography,and string theory.Classically,TT deformation manifests through multiple geometric interpretations,notably random geometry,Jackiw-Teitelboim-like gravity,and uniform light-cone gauge frameworks.For quantum aspects,the deformation introduces notable features such as non-locality,UV-IR mixing,solvable renormalization structures,and intriguing modifications to correlation functions and entanglement properties.Furthermore,the paper examines the profound relationship between TT deformation and holography,particularly within the mixed boundary conditions/cutoff AdS holography proposal and holographic entanglement entropy.Connections to string theory through single-trace deformations and their holographic duals further reveal the deformed structure of the worldsheet.This review synthesizes recent developments and outlines potential directions for future research in the study of TT-like deformation.
