Euclidean wormholes in string theory. (English) Zbl 1246.81199

Summary: We show that toroidal compactification of type II string theory to six dimensions admits axionic euclidean wormhole solutions. These wormholes can be inserted into \(\mathrm{AdS}_{3} \times S^{3} \times T^{4}\) backgrounds, which have a well-defined CFT dual. AdS/CFT duality then suggests that the wormhole solutions cannot be interpreted using \(\alpha \) parameters as originally suggested by Coleman.
