abstract
$T\bar{T}$ deformed conformal field theories can be reformulated as worldsheet theories of non-critical strings. We use this correspondence to compute and study the $T\bar{T}$ deformed partition sum of a symmetric product CFT. We find that it takes the form of a partition sum of a second quantized string theory with a worldsheet given by the product of the seed CFT and a gaussian sigma model with the two-torus as target space. We show that deformed symmetric product theory admits a natural UV completion that exhibits a strong weak coupling $\mathbb{Z}_2$ duality that interchanges the momentum and winding numbers and maps the $T\bar{T}$-coupling $\lambda$ to its inverse $1/\lambda$. The $\mathbb{Z}_2$ duality is part of a full O$(2,2,\mathbb{Z})$-duality group that includes a PSL$(2,\mathbb{Z})$ acting on the complexified $T\bar{T}$ coupling. The duality symmetry eliminates the appearance of complex energies at strong coupling for all seed CFTs with central charge $c\leq 6$.

Properties of scalar partition functions of 2d CFTs
Scalar Virasoro primaries in any 2d CFT obey a crossing equation whose high-temperature form is controlled by a modular integral and by oscillations tied to the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

Symmetries and operators in $T\bar{T}$ deformed CFTs
A new class of local physical operators is constructed in T-bar-deformed CFTs, and their two-point functions reproduce known string theory and field theory results.
