Abstract
Investigations relating the emergence of the radial direction in the holography, solvable
irrelevant deformations of conformal eld theories and holographic entanglement entropy
are reported. Emphasis is laid on how diffeomorphism invariance in the bulk emerges, in
both the classical and quantum regimes. The computation of von Neumann entanglement
and Renyi entropies in $T\bar{T}$ deformed conformal eld theories and their bulk dual quantities
are presented. Further, the peculiar properties of the deformed theory that these quantities
point to, are discussed. Finally, the connections between $T\bar{T}$ deformed partition functions
and solutions to the radial Wheeler de Witt equation in three spacetime dimensions is
presented.
