Abstract
QFTs with local topological operators feature unusual sectors called
``universes,'' which are separated by infinite-tension domain walls. We show
that such systems have relevant deformations with exactly-calculable effects. These deformations allow one to dial the vacuum energy densities of
the universes. We describe applications of these deformations to confinement in 2d gauge theories, as well as a curious violation of the effective field theory naturalness principle.
