PU High Energy Theory Seminar

Abstract: In this talk, I will review a simple derivation of an integral kernel formula for the partition function of T Tbar deformed CFT based on the holographic single trace T Tbar deformation and its generalization to J Tbar and J Jbar deformations. I will then describe the application of this formalism to understand aspects of the physics of long strings in AdS3 and its deformations.
