Axion Wormholes in AdS Compactifications

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-06-28 v1

Abstract

We find regular axionic Euclidean wormhole solutions in Type IIB string theory compactified on AdS5×S5/Zk\text{AdS}_5\times \text{S}^5/\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.
