T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformations, massive gravity and non-critical strings
Abstract The T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformation of a 2 dimensional field theory living on a curved space- time is equivalent to coupling the undeformed field theory to 2 dimensional ‘ghost-free’ massive gravity. We derive the equivalence classically, and using a path integral formulation of the r...
