Abstract
In this paper, we continue the study of \( T\overline{T} \) deformation in d = 1 quantum mechanical systems and propose possible analogues of \( J\overline{T} \) deformation and deformation by a general linear combination of \( T\overline{T} \) and \( J\overline{T} \) in quantum mechanics. We construct flow equations for the partition functions of the deformed theory, the solutions to which yields the deformed partition functions as integral of the undeformed partition function weighted by some kernels. The kernel formula turns out to be very useful in studying the deformed two-point functions and analyzing the thermodynamics of the deformed theory. Finally, we show that a non-perturbative UV completion of the deformed theory is given by minimally coupling the undeformed theory to worldline gravity and U(1) gauge theory.
