摘要

We propose boundary terms for the action of the NS sector of supergravity on M3 × S3 × T4 spacetimes — where M3 is an AdS3 or a linear dilaton background — that render the Brown-York stress tensor and the on-shell action finite. For AdS3 backgrounds, we show that the on-shell action yields a free energy with chemical potentials determined by the B-field. TsT (T-duality + shift + T-duality) transformations of these backgrounds generate classes of linear dilaton backgrounds distinguished by their boundary conditions. Among them, there is one class of backgrounds that reproduces features of the single-trace T T ¯ \( T\overline{T} \) deformation. These backgrounds have additional chemical potentials that can be turned off by large gauge transformations of the B-field. We show that the Brown-York stress tensor of these backgrounds reproduces the energies and the trace flow equation of T T ¯ \( T\overline{T} \) -deformed CFTs. We also show that the on-shell action matches the T T ¯ \( T\overline{T} \) partition function and discuss the interpretation of these results.
