T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations from AdS2 to dS2

Abstract We revisit the formalism of T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations for quantum theories that are holographically dual to two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories with Dirichlet boundary conditions. To better understand the microscopics of de Sitter space, we focus on defor...

description Abstract We revisit the formalism of T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations for quantum theories that are holographically dual to two-dimensional dilaton-gravity theories with Dirichlet boundary conditions. To better understand the microscopics of de Sitter space, we focus on deformations for which the dual bulk geometry flows from Anti-de Sitter to de Sitter space. We explore two distinct ways to achieve this: either through so-called centaur geometries that interpolate between AdS2 and dS2, or by a spherical dimensional reduction of T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ + Λ2 theories that were proposed to give a microscopic interpretation of three-dimensional de Sitter entropy. We derive the microscopic energy spectrum, heat capacities, and deformed Cardy expressions for the thermodynamic entropy in the canonical and microcanonical ensembles for these two setups. In both setups a signature of the change from AdS to dS is that the heat capacity at a fixed deformation parameter of the boundary system changes sign, indicating the existence of a thermodynamically unstable de Sitter patch. Our findings provide important consistency conditions for holographic models of the dS2 static patch.
