abstract

D-instantons of Type IIB string theory are Ramond-Ramond counterpart of Giddings-Strominger wormholes connecting two asymptotic regions of spacetime. Such wormholes, according to Coleman, might lead to spacetime topology change, third-quantized baby universes and probabilistic determination of fundamental coupling parameters. Utilizing correspondence between AdS5 x M5 Type IIB supergravity and d=4 super Yang-Mills theory, we point out that topology change and sum over topologies not only take place in string theory but also are required for consistency with holography. Nevertheless, the effects of D-instanton wormholes remain completely deterministic, in sharp contrast to Coleman's scenario.

Type IIB Axion--Dilaton Wormholes and the BPS Limit Hessian

hep-th · 2026-07-01 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

In the axion charge sector of Type IIB, the E=0 BPS instanton has a physical Hessian that factorizes as Q dagger Q, interpreted as an endpoint theorem beyond stability for E>0 wormholes, with separation of throat from multipole operator terms.
