Tunnelling with wormhole creation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-23 v1

Abstract

The description of quantum tunnelling in the presence of gravity shows subtleties in some cases. Here we discuss wormhole production in the context of the spherically symmetric thin-shell approximation. By presenting a fully consistent treatment based on canonical quantization, we solve a controversy present in literature.
