Generalized T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like deformations in duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamic theories

Abstract

Abstract This study introduces a high-order perturbation methodology to categorize two primary solution types within duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamic theories, adhering to the differential self-duality criterion. The first solution type aligns with irrelevant stress tensor flows, resembling T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ dynamics, and the second involves a blend of irrelevant T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like and marginal root- T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -like deformations. Our approach facilitates the investigation of diverse duality-invariant nonlinear electrodynamics theories and their stress tensor flows and confirms the commutativity of flows initiated by irrelevant and marginal operators.
