Description
In this talk, I will present a systematic approach to stress-tensor deformations in d dimensions, using the massive gravity formulation. In two dimensions, the resulting deforming operator is of quadratic order and correctly reduces to TTbar or TTbar+Λ_2 at certain limits. Moreover, the quantum mechanical spectrum of this generalized operator exhibits interesting behaviour. In d>2, higher order terms also appear, but the quadratic part of the deformation precisely matches with prior findings. Under certain assumptions, all but the quadratic terms vanish identically.
