The Higgs branch of the D1D5 system flows in the infrared to a two-dimensional N=(4,4) SCFT.
- This system is believed to have an "orbifold point" in its moduli space where the SCFT is a free sigma model with target space the symmetric product of copies of four-tori; however, at the orbifold point gravity is strongly coupled and to reach the supergravity point one needs to turn on the four exactly marginal deformations corresponding to the blow-up modes of the orbifold SCFT.
- Recently, technology has been developed for studying these deformations and perturbing the D1D5 CFT off its orbifold point.
- We present a new method for computing the general effect of a single application of the deformation operators.
