KdV Charges and the Generalized Torus Partition Sum in $T{\bar T}$ deformation

Abstract

We consider KdV currents in a quantum field theory obtained by deforming a two dimensional conformal field theory on a cylinder via the irrelevant operator $T{\bar T}$. In this paper we determine their one-point functions modular properties. We find that the one-point functions factorize into two components each with a definite modular weight. We also obtain a general differential equation that the generalized torus partition sum satisfies.
