1 Introduction
Recently much attention has been paid to the irrelevant deformations of two-dimensional quantum field theories by bilinear form of conserved currents [1]. This deformation [2, 3] has been extensively investigated [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 9, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26]. Although these deformations are irrelevant in the renormalization group sense, the deformed theory appears to be more predictive than the generic non-renormalizable QFT. Remarkably, such deformation preserves the integrability for the integrable quantum field [1]. Even for the non-integrable theory, some properties, e.g. for a finite size spectrum and the S-matrix, of the -deformed theory can be exactly calculated based on the data of the undeformed theory [1, 3]. For Non-Lorentz invariant cases were studied in [28, 29, 30, 27, 31, 32].
/-deformed CFTs have also been applied to string theory [33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44], where the application to AdS/CFT is especially interesting. The holographic dual of the positive sign -deformed two-dimensional holographic CFT was proposed to be AdS3 gravity with a finite radius cut-off in [45]. To check this proposal, various aspects, such as the energy spectrum and the propagation speed, must agree on both sides [45]. Some recent progress in regard to the holographic aspect of the deformations has been reported in [46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55].
The Rényi entanglement entropy has been used as a helpful quantity to measure the properties of the vacuum and excited states [56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 65, 63, 64, 66, 67]. In the un-deformed CFTs, the th Rényi entanglement entropy has been extensively studied in the literature [59, 60, 68, 69, 61, 62, 65, 70, 66, 71, 72, 73, 67, 74, 75]. In rational CFTs, it has been shown that the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy has to be the logarithm of the quantum dimension [60] of the corresponding local operator. The quantum entanglement of -deformed CFTs have been investigated in [10, 76, 13, 54, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82]. However, these works are mainly focused on the Rényi entanglement entropy of the vacuum states in deformed CFTs. In this paper focus on the locally excited states in deformed CFTs. To initiate the study, we have to know the correlation function of CFTs333Recently, [83] have used the local and non-local field renormalizations to study the correlation functions which are shown to be UV finite to all orders formally..
Here, we study the correlation functions of primary operators in the /-deformed two-dimensional CFTs without the effect of the renormalization group flow of the operator. We will focus on the 2- and 4-point functions in /. For simplicity, we regard the /-deformed CFTs as perturbation theories of CFTs and compute the first order correction of the correlation function due to the /-deformation. Since / are conserved quantities, the Ward identities are held in the deformed theory. Once we implement the Ward identity for deformed correlation functions, we have to deal with the divergences. We apply the dimensional regularization procedure and the deformation of correlation function up to the first order can be obtained explicitly.
As applications, we employ the formula to investigate the Rényi entanglement entropy in two-dimensional CFTs perturbatively. We just put a local primary operator following the procedure in [60, 61, 62, 65, 66, 67] to obtain a locally excited state. With time evolution, the excess of Rényi entanglement entropy of deformed two-dimensional CFTs has been calculated in this paper. We will show how the /-deformation changes the excess of Rényi entanglement entropy in this local quenched system.
The -deformation of the integrable model is proposed to hold the integrability structure. Alternatively, we would like to employ the out of time order correlation function (OTOC) [84, 85, 86] to gain some insight into integrability/chaos after the deformation, since the OTOC has been broadly regarded as one of the quantities to capture the chaotic or integrable. We investigate the OTOC in the deformed CFTs to see whether the chaotic property is preserved or not after the /-deformation in a perturbative sense.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we setup the perturbation of -deformed theories. In terms of perturbative CFT technicals, we formulate 2- and 4-point correlation functions of -deformed CFTs explicitly, where the dimensional regularization has been implemented. In Section 3, we have studied the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy of the locally excited states in -deformed theory. In Section 4, we work out the out of time ordered correlation function of the -deformed theory, up to first order perturbation. In Section 5, we directly extend the investigations in Sections 2, 3 and 4 to the -deformed theory. Finally, section 6 is devoted to conclusions and discussions. We also mention some likely future problems. In the appendices, we would like to list some techniques and notations relevant to our analysis.
2 -deformation and correlation functions
In this section, we give a lightning review of the -deformation and calculate the correlation function in the -deformed CFTs, which are useful in the later parts.
The -deformed action is the trajectory on the space of field theory satisfying
[TABLE]
where is the coupling constant of the -operator. is the action of the un-deformed CFT on the flat metric . Since the theory is on the flat space, the operator can be written as
[TABLE]
with and . In this paper, we will focus on the perturbation theory of , i.e.
[TABLE]
where plays the role of the perturbation operator in the CFT. Without confusion we will denote as from now on.
In this perturbation theory, the first order correction to the -point correlation function of primary operators becomes
[TABLE]
By using the Ward identity, this correction can be written as
[TABLE]
where we have used the fact that any correlation function including vanish i.e. . As examples, we will study the corrections to the 2- and 4-point functions up to the first order perturbation in .
Let us first consider the two-point function of primary operator:
[TABLE]
where . The Ward identity leads to
[TABLE]
Note that due to the effect of , the terms such as will provide a delta function. One can see that the final two terms will contribute to two non-dynamics terms which are UV divergence after the space time integration. For simplicity, we drop out these terms in later analysis. One can show that the first term in above equation is consistent with the two-point function given by [47, 83]. Using the formula (87) in appendix, we obtain the first order correction of the two-point function due to the -deformation
[TABLE]
where is the dimensional regularization parameter. See (79) for the notation of . This result reproduces the one obtained in [47, 83]. In the following, we will use the same prescription to handle the divergent integrals.
For the single primary operator , we have
[TABLE]
with the cross ratios
[TABLE]
The first order correction for this four-point function due to -deformation is
[TABLE]
The delta functions presented in the 4-th and 5-th rows of the above equation will not contribute to the dynamics of the four-point function after the proper regularization, which is similar as the situation in two-point correlation function. We thus drop these terms. Moreover, after the space time integration associated with the deformation, the terms with delta function and will also vanish.
Using the notations of the integrals introduced in (79), we express the first order correction to four-point function as
[TABLE]
We then could use the formula (93), (LABEL:eq:I221111), (LABEL:eq:I111122) and (LABEL:eq:I11111111) in appendix to express this integral in terms of , and . More precisely, the integral like will also appear. The dimensional reduction parameter in and is positive, while the parameter in is negative. The integral contains both and . In our calculation, the contribution due to integral will only replace the in to . So we can just ignore , and regard the parameter in paired as positive444We would like to appreciate Yuan Sun to discuss with us on this issue.. Then we use (84), (87) and (90) to obtain the dimensional regulated result. Since the final result is quite complicated, we will not show the detail here.
3 Entanglement entropy in the -deformed CFTs
The quantum entanglement of deformed CFTs have been investigated in [13, 81, 82]. However, these works are mainly focused on the Rényi entanglement entropy of vacuum states in deformed CFTs. In this section, we first review the Rényi entanglement entropy of excited state in the un-deformed CFT and then consider their -deformation.
Let us consider an excited state defined by acting a primary operator on the vacuum state in the two-dimensional CFT. We introduce the complex coordinate , such that and are the Euclidean space and Euclidean time respectively. We insert the primary operator at and consider the real time-evolution from to with the Hamiltonian [59, 60]. The corresponding density matrix is
[TABLE]
where is the normalization factor, is an ultraviolet regularization. Moreover, and are defined by
[TABLE]
where are treated as the purely real numbers [60]. In other words, we regarded as the pure imaginary number until the end of the calculation.
We then employ the replica method in the path integral formulation to compute the Rényi entanglement entropy. Let us choose the subsystem to be an interval at . This leads to a -sheet Riemann surface with -operators , i.e.
[TABLE]
We are interested in the difference of between the excited state and the vacuum state:
[TABLE]
These quantities measure the effective quantum mechanical degrees of freedom of the operator[59, 60] 555We call the difference of the as the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy..
Let us consider the case. We apply the conformal transformation
[TABLE]
such that is mapped to . For this case, the coordinates are given by
[TABLE]
On the , the four-point function can be expressed as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
We then apply the map (17) to express the four-point function on :
[TABLE]
Here the Rényi entanglement entropy in or for will be vanishing [60]. When , Rényi entanglement entropy will be the logarithm of the quantum dimension of the corresponding operator. Therefore, the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy of locally excited states between the early time and late time is logarithmic quantum dimension of the local operator. In two-dimensional rational CFTs, the authors of [60, 61, 62, 66, 67] obtain that the excess of Rényi entanglement entropy is a logarithmic quantum dimension of corresponding local operator which excites the space time 666In two-dimensional quantum gravity theory, e.g. Liouville field theory, one has to redefine the proper reference state [65] to restore the causality structure and the excess of Rényi entanglement entropy will be the logarithm of the ratio of the fusion matrix elements between the exciting and reference states..
3.1 -deformation
In two-dimensional rational CFTs, we have investigated the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy of locally excited states between the early time and late time is the logarithmic quantum dimension of the local operator, which have been proved to be universal. In this section, we consider the Rényi entanglement entropy of excited state in the -deformed CFT. Let us focus on the -deformation of in (16). The vacuum state will be deformed by the deformation. To take the deformation of the vacuum state, we also expand the vacuum state in deformation theory up to the first order. For the sake of simplicity, we start from the density matrix of the locally excited states and focus on the first order correction of Rényi entropy in -deformation by using the CFT perturbation theory. Therefore, we assume that the conformal transformation is still an approximated symmetry and make use of replica trick to obtain the Rényi entropy. We have to insert the -deformation operator in the -sheeted manifold. Since we only focus on the first order of the REE, combining the vacuum deformation and replica effects, it will give the of the deformation on one sheet totally.
[TABLE]
To evaluate the correlator on the , we use the conformal map (17) to map in to in . Under the conformal map (17), the stress tensors transform as
[TABLE]
where is the Schwarzian derivative. The -operator thus transforms as
[TABLE]
Using this transformation formula and expanding around , we find
[TABLE]
Let us focus on the large case. The leading order is evaluated as
[TABLE]
To take the regularization, we introduce the cutoff by replacing to :
[TABLE]
In the leading order , the Rényi entanglement entropy depends on the UV and IR cut off introduced by regularization. By using the Ward identity and the integrals in Appendix B, the order of eq. (LABEL:defm-SA) can be written as
[TABLE]
Then our task is to substitute the conformal block and evaluate the next order correction (LABEL:eq:ExEE-next-order). In generic CFTs, the function in (19), can be expressed by using the conformal blocks [87]
[TABLE]
where runs over all the primary operators.
When we take the early time in our setup or , one finds the cross ratios
[TABLE]
In this limit, i.e. , the dominant contribution arise from the identity operator. We thus get
[TABLE]
Plugging this into (LABEL:eq:ExEE-next-order), we obtain the next order correction
[TABLE]
As we take the late time , the cross ratios behaves as [60]
[TABLE]
The conformal block at the limit can be written as
[TABLE]
where is a constant called as Fusion matrix [88, 89]. Substituting this into (LABEL:eq:ExEE-next-order), we find
[TABLE]
By using the Ward identity, at order , the correction to the Rényi entanglement entropy of excited state can also be written in terms of integrals, which appear in a complicated form. We will not consider the correction in order in the present paper.
Together with the result at leading order (27), we obtain the -deformed at large limit:
[TABLE]
The first term is associated with UV and IR cutoff. The second term is related to the nontrivial time dependence at the linear order of the central charge . Comparing the Rényi entanglement entropy of excited state at the early time and late time, we find
[TABLE]
where and label the early time and late time respectively. We thus find that at the leading order of the excess of the Rényi entanglement entropy change dramatically in the order of , which depends on the details of the CFT.
4 OTOC in -deformed CFTs
The out of time order correlation function (OTOC) has been identified as a diagnostic of quantum chaos [84, 85, 86]. Remarkably, the field theory with Einstein gravity dual is proposed to exhibit the maximal Lyapunov exponent, which measures the growth rate of the OTOC. In this section, we investigate the OTOC between pairs of operators:
[TABLE]
in the deformed CFTs to see whether the chaotic property is preserved or not after the deformation perturbatively. Since the OTOC can be broadly regarded as one of the quantities to capture the chaotic or integrable behavior, our study will shed light on the integrability/chaos after the -deformation.
The thermal four-point correlator , are the coordinates of the spatially infinite thermal system, can be computed by the vacuum expectation values through the conformal transformation:
[TABLE]
where are
[TABLE]
We may deform the thermal system, i.e. two-dimensional CFT at finite temperature , by inserting the operator The first order correction to the thermal correlator is
[TABLE]
where and . Taking account the transformation of the stress tensor transform under the conformal transformation, we find
[TABLE]
Under the -deformation, the four-point function
[TABLE]
is deformed to
[TABLE]
Expanding around and performing the coordinate transformation (40), we obtain
[TABLE]
The term of order thus can be written as
[TABLE]
Note that this divergence only depends on the cutoff. Since no dynamics appear, this is not interested for us.
We then consider the order
[TABLE]
Note that the four-point function in un-deformed CFT is given by
[TABLE]
The two-point function in un-deformed CFT behaves as
[TABLE]
The two-point functions for operator also has the similar construction. Using the Ward identity and the integrals in Appendix C, we evaluate the next order correction (LABEL:eq:OTOC-next-order) as
[TABLE]
Then our task is to evaluate (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc-G). In the two-dimensional CFT, can expand in terms of global conformal blocks[90]:
[TABLE]
where is the Gauss hypergeometric function. The summation is over the global primary operator. The coefficient is related to operator expansion coefficient .
For the two-dimensional CFT corresponding to the Einstein gravity theory, all the desired propagation can be expressed by using the identity operator, and the conformal block can be replaced by
[TABLE]
where is the Virasoro conformal block whose dimension is zero in the intermediate channel. Here we will use a slight different notation compared with previous section. The function is not known in generic cases. However, at large with small fixed and large fixed, the formula reads [92]
[TABLE]
where the function has a branch cut at . For the contour around and small , one finds
[TABLE]
Since the path of does not cross the brach cut at , one find at small .
To apply the -deformed correlation function to the OTOC, we follow the steps in [86, 91] to evaluate the OTOC by using the analytic of the Euclideans of the four-point function by writing
[TABLE]
as the function of the continuation parameter . Substituting the coordinates (55) and (54) to (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc-G), we find
[TABLE]
where we have located the operators in pairs: and , and set without loss generality [91].
Let us now consider the order correction. By using the Ward identity, we find
[TABLE]
where is the cutoff denoted by . Taking together with (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc2), (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc) and (LABEL:eq:OTOC-O1), we find the -deformed OTOC at late time behaves as
[TABLE]
where and are the terms independent of . Therefore, the Lyapunov exponent, which measures the time growth rate, is not affected. Further, the choices of the sign of do not affect the late time behavior in the above equation.
We thus expect the -deformation does not affect the maximal chaos found by OTOC up to the perturbation first order of the deformation 777A similar result in AdS2 and Schwarzian theory has been found recently in [93]. Moreover, since the bound of the Lyapunov exponent found in OTOC is un-affect, the gravity dual of the -deformed holographic CFT is expected to saturate the bound of the chaos. Here we focus on the late time behavior of the OTOC in the deformed large central charge CFT which is expected to have holographic dual. Although we have not investigated the integral model directly, it is also natural to expect that the -deformed integrable model is still integrable up to the perturbation first order of the deformation.
5 -deformation
5.1 Correlation functions in -deformed CFTs
It is also interesting to consider the deformation of , which is defined by adding an operator constructed from a chiral current and stress tensor in the action
[TABLE]
In a similar way as in -deformation, we regard the deformation as a perturbative theory, in which case the action can be written as
[TABLE]
where we denoted . The first order correction to the correlation function is
[TABLE]
By using the Ward identity, this correction becomes
[TABLE]
where is the primary operator with dimension and charge . Therefore, the first order correction of two-point correlator due to -deformation is
[TABLE]
By using the integral (92), we can express this correction in terms of , which is evaluated by using the dimensional regularization.
It is easy to find the first order correction to the four-point function is
[TABLE]
By using the integrals (79), we express this correction as
[TABLE]
Using the formulas (91), (92) and (LABEL:eq:I11111), we could express this integral in terms of . Since the final result is quite complicated, we will not show the details here.
5.2 Entanglement entropy in -deformed CFTs
In this section, we consider the Rényi entanglement entropy of excited state in the -deformed CFT. In the parallel with the -deformation, we consider the -deformation of in (16).
[TABLE]
To evaluate the correlator on the , we use the conformal map (17) to map in to in . Under the conformal map, the current and the stress tensors transform as
[TABLE]
Expanding around , we find
[TABLE]
We still focus on the large case, can be written as
[TABLE]
where we used the Ward identity. This integrals can be evaluated in the similar way as in Section 3, and we find we find
[TABLE]
Plugging the coordinates (18) in, we obtain
[TABLE]
for . From the above equation, up to the leading order of the -deformation and the leading order of the large c limit, the Rényi entanglement entropy will obtain the corrections, where the first two terms associated with non trivial time dependence and the other term is about the UV cutoff due to the regularization. We also find that the excess of Rényi entanglement entropy will be dramatically changed.
5.3 OTOC in -deformed CFTs
We then consider the OTOC under the -deformation. Under the coordinate transformation, the correlation function transform as
[TABLE]
The -deformation of the function
[TABLE]
becomes
[TABLE]
where we have expanded around . Under the conformal transformation (40), we obtain
[TABLE]
By using the Ward identity, we find
[TABLE]
This integral can be evaluated by using the similar method as in the Section 3. Using the coordinates (55) and conformal block (54), we obtain
[TABLE]
where we have located the operators in pairs: and , and set without loss generality [91]. At late time, the -defomed OTOC behaves as
[TABLE]
where is a coefficient independent of . We thus find the -deformation does not affect the maximal chaos found by OTOC up to the perturbation first order of the deformation, which is the similar as the result found in -deformation.
6 Conclusions and discussions
In this paper, we study the /-deformation of two-dimensional CFTs perturbatively in the first order of the deformation. Thanks to the energy momentum conservation and current conservation, we employ the Ward identity to study the 2- and 4-point correlation functions in a perturbative manner. To obtain the closed form for these correlation functions, we make use of dimensional regularization to deal with the space time integral. Our results can exactly reproduce the previous results related to 2-point correlation of deformed CFTs in the literature [47, 32, 83]. As an application of this work, we study the Rényi entanglement entropy of the locally excited state in deformed CFTs. With such deformation, at the leading order , the Rényi entanglement entropy depends on the UV and IR cut off introduced by the regularization. At the order the Rényi entanglement entropy acquires a non-trivial time dependence. The excess of Rényi entanglement entropy between early and late times is significantly changed up to the order , see (LABEL:eq:Ex-REE) and (71).
In [1], it claimed that the integrability structure is still held in integrable models with -deformation. We read out the signals of integrability by calculating the OTOC in the /-deformed field theory. To this end, the OTOC of deformed theory has been given explicitly and it shows that the /-deformation does not change the maximal chaotic property of holographic CFTs in our calculation. Although we do not explicitly exhibit the integrability structure of /-deformed integrable CFTs, up to the first order of deformation, we expect that such deformations do not change the integrability structure of un-deformed theory which is an interesting direction in the future work.
One can directly extend the perturbation to the higher order of these deformations to calculate the higher-point correlation functions, which will give us some highly non-trivial insights into the renormalization flow structure of the correlation function. One can compare the correlation function in the deformed theory with the non-perturbative correlation functions proposed by [83], and check the non-local effect in the UV limit. Further, one can exactly check the crossing symmetry of four-point function in a perturbative sense, as we have done in this paper, or non-perturbative sense [83] as elsewhere. To exactly match these two methods is a very interesting direction for future research. As applications, one can apply these higher order corrected correlation functions to study the Rényi entanglement entropy and the OTOC to see the chaotic signals of the deformed theory in a perturbative sense.

Comparing with the result obtained by using dimensional regularization (90), we find these two prescriptions of regularization are equivalent.
Appendix C Details of the integrals in OTOC
In this appendix, we show the details to evaluate the integral (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc-G). By using the Ward identity, the integral (LABEL:eq:OTOC-Oc-G) is simplified as
