We prove a 2 dimensional Tauberian theorem in context of 2 dimensional conformal field theory. The asymptotic density of states with conformal weight (h,h) → (∞, ∞) for any arbitrary spin is derived using the theorem. We further rigorously show that the error term is controlled by the twist parameter and insensitive to spin. The sensitivity of the leading piece towards spin is discussed. We identify a universal piece in microcanonical entropy when the averaging window is large. An asymptotic spectral gap on (h,h) plane, hence the asymptotic twist gap is derived. We prove an universal inequality stating that in a compact unitary 2D CFT without any conserved current Ag ≤ π(c−1)r 2 24 is satisfied, where g is the twist gap over vacuum and A is the minimal "areal gap", generalizing the minimal gap in dimension to (h ,h ) plane and r = 4 √ 3 π 2.21. We investigate density of states in the regime where spin is parametrically larger than twist with both going to infinity. Moreover, the large central charge regime is studied. We also probe finite twist, large spin behavior of density of states.
We derive Cardy-like formulas for the growth of operators in different sectors of unitary 2 dimensional CFT in the presence of topological defect lines by putting an upper and lower bound on the number of states with scaling dimension in the interval [∆ − δ, ∆ + δ] for large ∆ at fixed δ. Consequently we prove that given any unitary modular invariant 2D CFT symmetric under finite global symmetry G (acting faithfully), all the irreducible representations of G appear in the spectra of the untwisted sector; the growth of states is Cardy like and proportional to the “square” of the dimension of the irrep. In the Schwarzian limit, the result matches onto that of JT gravity with a bulk gauge theory. If the symmetry is non-anomalous, the result applies to any sector twisted by a group element. For c > 1, the statements are true for Virasoro primaries. Furthermore, the results are applicable to large c CFTs. We also extend our results for the continuous U(1) group.
We define a manifestly supersymmetric version of the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ deformation appropriate for a class of (0 + 1)-dimensional theories with $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 or $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetry, including one presentation of the super-Schwarzian theory which is dual to JT supergravity. These deformations are written in terms of Noether currents associated with translations in superspace, so we refer to them collectively as f($$ \mathcal{Q} $$ Q ) deformations. We provide evidence that the f($$ \mathcal{Q} $$ Q )) deformations of $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 theories are on-shell equivalent to the dimensionally reduced supercurrent-squared deformations of 2d theories with $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 1) and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 1) supersymmetry, respectively. In the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 case, we present two forms of the f($$ \mathcal{Q} $$ Q ) deformation which drive the same flow, and clarify their equivalence by studying the analogous equivalent deformations in the non-supersymmetric setting.
We calculate the $$ \mathcal{S} $$ S -multiplets for two-dimensional Euclidean $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) and $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) superconformal field theories under the T$$ \overline{T} $$ T ¯ deformation at leading order of perturbation theory in the deformation coupling. Then, from these $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) deformed multiplets, we calculate two- and three-point correlators. We show the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) chiral ring’s elements do not flow under the T$$ \overline{T} $$ T ¯ deformation. Specializing to integrable supersymmetric seed theories, such as $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (2, 2) Landau-Ginzburg models, we use the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz to study the S-matrices and ground state energies. From both an S-matrix perspective and Melzer’s folding prescription, we show that the deformed ground state energy obeys the inviscid Burgers’ equation. Finally, we show that several indices independent of D-term perturbations including the Witten index, Cecotti-Fendley-Intriligator-Vafa index and elliptic genus do not flow under the T$$ \overline{T} $$ T ¯ deformation.
Sharpening the correspondence of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity and its dual matrix model description at a finite radial cutoff λ through the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ deformation is of interest. To proceed, we simplify the problem by considering the Airy model and deform Airy correlators in the same way as in $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ -deformed JT gravity. We use those correlators to compute the annealed and quenched free energies for both λ > 0 and λ < 0 from an integral representation of the replica trick. At the leading order in λ and low temperatures, we confirm that the genus-zero quenched free energy monotonically decreases as a function of temperature when perturbation theory is valid. We then study the all-genus quenched free energy at low temperatures, where we discover and discuss subtleties due to non-perturbative effects in the Airy model, as well as the contributions from the non-perturbative branch under the $$ T\overline{T} $$ T T ¯ deformation.
