Axion wormholes in AdS compactifications
Open accessAbstract
We find regular axionic Euclidean wormhole solutions in Type IIB string theory compactified on $$ {\mathrm{AdS}}_5\times {\mathrm{S}}^5/{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_k $$ . AdS/CFT enables a precise derivation of the axion content of the Euclidean theory, placing the string theory embedding of the wormholes on firm footing. This further sharpens the paradox posed by these solutions.

Negative-mode problems possibly affect the Giddings-Strominger solution.
“We go on to briefly discuss the generic problems of euclidean quantum gravity and, in particular, the negative-mode problems possibly affecting the Giddings-Strominger solution (Rubakov and Shvedov, 1996a;Alonso and Urbano, 2017;Hertog et al., 2017).”

Regular wormhole solutions in AdS string compactifications have been obtained more recently.
“regular solutions have been obtained more recently (Arkani-Hamed et al., 2007b;Hertog et al., 2017;Ruggeri et al., 2018).”

It has been argued that, while wormholes can be embedded in AdS string compactifications, their interpretation in terms of alpha parameters leads to problems in the boundary field theory, such as nonlocalities or violations of the BPS bound.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
