String Theory Journal Club

Just over a year ago, several authors (Christian Ferko, Alessandro Sfondrini, Liam Smith, and Gabriele Tartaglino-Mazzucchelli) initiated studies of the consequences of introducing into two-dimensional field theories a one-parameter family of deformations, which they called the Root-$T\bar{T}$ deformation. Their work, as well as the subsequent papers extending their results, focus on classical theory. In my talk, I will present an idea how to analyze the consequences of Root-$T\bar{T}$ deformations for a quantum, two-dimensional conformal field theory.
