abstract
We discuss the marginal $\sqrt{T\overline{T}}$ deformation of massless scalar field theories in two dimensions from a dynamical perspective. The operator flow equations for such deformations induce a particular Legendre Transformation between flowed Lagrangians and flowed Hamiltonians. The marginal deformation does not change the conformal symmetries of the theory, until some special points in the moduli space are reached, and the relativistic conformal algebra smoothly changes to the Carrollian conformal (equivalently BMS) one. We investigate this change of symmetry from both configuration space and phase space point of view, while keeping the notion of Legendre Transformation unchanged during the flow. By expanding the actions, in the extreme limits of the flow parameter, we recover the usual ``Electric'' Carroll theory and further uncover a novel ``Magnetic'' counterpart. We discuss the intriguing geometric understanding of such dynamical maps for the deformed theories, and also provide a concrete example for the same from a deformed string theory in flat space.

The Triple $T\bar{T}$-Like Flow in Quantum Field Theories: Irrelevant, Marginal, and Relevant
A one-parameter flow ∂_λ ℒ = ℛ_λ^{1/α} yields closed-form solutions in duality-invariant 4D electrodynamics and 2D integrable sigma models, with α=1 recovering root-TTbar and other values producing irrelevant (α<1) or relevant (α>1) deformations.
