Integrable flows between exact CFTs
read the original abstract
We explicitly construct families of integrable $\sigma$-model actions smoothly interpolating between exact CFTs. In the ultraviolet the theory is the direct product of two current algebras at levels $k_1$ and $k_2$. In the infrared and for the case of two deformation matrices the CFT involves a coset CFT, whereas for a single matrix deformation it is given by the ultraviolet direct product theories but at levels $k_1$ and $k_2-k_1$. For isotropic deformations we demonstrate integrability. In this case we also compute the exact beta-function for the deformation parameters using gravitational methods. This is shown to coincide with previous results obtained using perturbation theory and non-perturbative symmetries.

Characterizing bulk properties of gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Role of duality in unusual ordering
Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows exhibit unusual structures outside standard boundary CFT modules and typically break non-group-like symmetries, characterized via smeared boundary CFTs with an example in the tr...

Supergravity realisations of $\lambda$-models
Type-II supergravity solutions are built from λ-deformed coset models that contain undeformed AdS spaces, connecting these deformations to AdS/CFT while constraining λ via reality conditions.
