Correlation Functions in -deformed Theories on the Torus

Abstract

We study the correlation functions of local operators in unitary -deformed field theories defined on a torus, using their formulation in terms of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We focus on the two-point correlation function in momentum space when the undeformed theory is a conformal field theory. The large momentum behavior of the correlation function is computed and compared to that of -deformed field theories defined on a plane. For the latter, the behavior found was , where is the momentum and is the deformation parameter. For a torus, the same behavior is found for , where is the torus' length scale. However, for , a different behavior is found: , where is the modular parameter of the torus. Hence, at large momentum, the correlator decays and then grows. This behavior suggests that operators carrying momentum are smeared on a distance scale . The difference from the plane's result illustrates the non-locality of the theory and the UV-IR mixing.
