Abstract: In this paper, we generalize the deformations driven by the stress-energy tensor T and investigate their relation to the flow equation for the background metric at the classical level. For a deformation operator O as a polynomial function of the stress-energy tensor, we develop a formalism that relates a deformed action to a flow equation for the metric in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. It is shown that in the T T ¯ deformation and the O ( T ) = tr [ T ] m deformation, the flow equations for the metric allow us to directly obtain exact solutions in closed forms. We also demonstrate the perturbative approach to find the same results. As several applications of the O ( T ) = tr [ T ] m deformation, we discuss the relation between the deformations and gravitational models. Besides, we also deform the Lagrangians for scalar field theories.
