contents The description of the $T\bar{T}$ deformation in terms of two-dimensional gravity is analyzed from the Hamiltonian point of view, in a manner analogous to the ADM description of general relativity. We find that the Hamiltonian constraints of the theory imply relations between target-space momentum at finite volume which are equivalent to the $T\bar{T}$ finite volume flow equations. This fully-quantum $T\bar{T}$ result emerges already at the classical level within the gravitational theory. We exemplify the analysis for the case when the undeformed sector is a collection of $D-2$ free massless scalars, where it is shown that -- somewhat non-trivially -- the target-space two-dimensional Poincaré symmetry is extended to $D$ dimensions. The connection between canonical quantization of this constrained Hamiltonian system and previous path integral quantizations is also discussed. We extend our analysis to the ``gravitational'' description of $J\bar{T}$-type deformations, where it is found that the flow equations obtained involve deformations that twist the spatial boundary conditions.
