Abstract
The $T\bar{T}$ deformation of 2-dimensional quantum field theories has been presented as a novel UV-completion mechanism with many interesting properties. Recently, it was shown that the $T\bar{T}$-deformed classical action of a flat space system with supersymmetry can be made off-shell supersymmetric to second order in the deformation parameter, by adding in new transformation rules at each order. The particular form of the perturbative extension developed in that work was complicated, and relied on a number of lucky cancellations to work out. In this thesis, we attempt to use the Hamiltonian picture description of $T\bar{T}$ of Kruthoff and Parrikar to re-derive the first-order contributions to the deformed SUSY transformations more directly. Though that picture is more natural, we show that a naive approach gives the correct answer as a subset of a more complicated expression. We discuss why this is the case, and suggest modifications which may get rid of the extra terms.
