TT¯ deformations of supersymmetric quantum mechanics
Abstract
We define a manifestly supersymmetric version of the TT¯ deformation appropriate for a class of (0 + 1)-dimensional theories with N = 1 or N = 2 supersymmetry, including one presentation of the super-Schwarzian theory which is dual to JT supergravity. These deformations are written in terms of Noether currents associated with translations in superspace, so we refer to them collectively as f(Q) deformations. We provide evidence that the f(Q)) deformations of N = 1 and N = 2 theories are on-shell equivalent to the dimensionally reduced supercurrent-squared deformations of 2d theories with N = (0, 1) and N = (1, 1) supersymmetry, respectively. In the N = 1 case, we present two forms of the f(Q) deformation which drive the same flow, and clarify their equivalence by studying the analogous equivalent deformations in the non-supersymmetric setting.
