  "abstract": "We describe a large class of theories that continuously interpolate between single and double trace $T\\bar T$ deformations of AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. It is obtained by starting with the spacetime $M_3$, which interpolates between AdS$_3$ in the IR and a linear dilaton spacetime in the UV, and imposing a UV cutoff on the radial direction. When the cutoff is deep in the AdS$_3$ region of $M_3$, this leads to double trace $T\\bar T$. When it goes to infinity, we recover the single trace deformed theory. We present a large class of possible boundary conditions on the dilaton, and compute the resulting black hole spectrum in a few examples. In all these constructions, to leading order in the low energy expansion, the resulting spectrum is that of a single $+$ double trace deformed CFT, but at higher orders the different theories have different spectra. In one of the examples that we analyze, the full theory is single $+$ double trace $T\\bar T$ deformed CFT. Another gives rise to an interesting spectrum, that consists of an infinite set of energy bands.",
