Nonlocal charges from marginal deformations of 2D CFTs: Holographic $T\bar{T}$, $T\bar{J}$ and Yang-Baxter deformations

Abstract

In this paper we study generic features of nonlocal charges obtained from marginal deformations of WZNW models. Using free-fields representations of CFTs based on simply laced Lie algebras, one can use simple arguments to build the nonlocal charges; but for more general Lie algebras these methods are not strong enough to be generally used. We propose a brute force calculation where the nonlocality is associated to a new Lie algebra valued field, and from this prescription we impose several constraints on the algebra of nonlocal charges. Possible applications for Yang-Baxter and holographic \(T\bar{T}\) and \(T\bar{J}\) deformations are also discussed.
