T T ¯ $$ \textrm{T}\overline{\textrm{T}} $$ deformations from AdS2 to dS2 by Sergio E. Aguilar-Gutierrez, Andrew Svesko, Manus R. Visser

“…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. …”
