We study the process of quantum tunnelling in self-interacting scalar field theories with non-minimal coupling to gravity. In these theories gravitational instantons can develop a neck -- a feature prohibited in theories with minimal…

A quantum inequality bound on the expectation value of the null-contracted stress tensor in an arbitrary Hadamard state is used to obtain constraints on the geometries of traversable wormholes. Particular attention is given to the wormhole…

The canonical theory of quantum gravity in the loop representation can be extended to incorporate topology change, in the simple case that this refers to the creation or annihilation of "minimalist wormholes" in which two points of the…
