Estimating global charge violating amplitudes from wormholes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-05-03 v2

Abstract

We consider the scattering of high energy and ultra relativistic spherically symmetric shells in asymptotically AdSD_D spacetimes. We analyze an exclusive amplitude where a single spherically symmetric shell goes in and a single one comes out, such that the two have different global symmetry charges of the effective gravity theory. We study a simple wormhole configuration that computes the square of the amplitude and analyze its properties.
