Wormhole effects in theories with imaginary massless scalars set an upper limit on analytic continuation of couplings to imaginary values, with string theory examples showing the low-energy theory breaks down at or before this bound.
Merons are universal in many non-Abelian gauge theories and source regular black holes and Euclidean wormholes via a non-Abelian Ayón-Beato-García generalization.
