abstract

Let $M$ be a complete Einstein manifold of negative curvature, and assume that (as in the AdS/CFT correspondence) it has a Penrose compactification with a conformal boundary $N$ of positive scalar curvature. We show that under these conditions, $H_n(M;Z)=0$ and in particular $N$ must be connected. These results resolve some puzzles concerning the AdS/CFT correspondence.

M\"obius randomness in the Hartle-Hawking state

hep-th · 2025-05-05 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The Hartle-Hawking state for toroidal quantum cosmologies is expressed in the Langlands decomposition as a sum over zeta zeros whose near-singularity dynamics follow the Hilbert-Pólya Hamiltonian and as a Möbius average of CFT partition functions.

Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound

hep-th · 2026-05-06 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Wormhole solutions with imaginary scalars set an Imaginary Distance Bound on analytic continuation of couplings, enforced by stringy effects that coincide with WGC and KSW in special cases.

Universality of merons in non-Abelian gauge theories

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

Modular quantization and black holes

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.

How to have your wormholes and factorize, too

hep-th · 2026-02-16 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A modified semiclassical holographic dictionary is used to construct an extended gravitational path integral that factorizes, reproduces the Page curve for entropy, and includes operators for baby universe states.

  • Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound hep-th · 2026-05-06 · conditional · none · ref 45

  • Wormholes as red herrings: reflection positivity and the reconstruction of unitary quantum field theories hep-th · 2026-07-01 · unverdicted · none · ref 22 · internal anchor

    Unitary QFTs are determined up to unitary isomorphism by closed-manifold partition functions; every reflection-positive partition function comes from a unitary QFT, so spatial wormholes do not break Hilbert-space factorization once the full charged spectrum is included.

  • AdS3 axion wormholes as stable contributions to the Euclidean gravitational path integral hep-th · 2025-04-15 · unverdicted · none · ref 18 · internal anchor

    The paper shows that Euclidean axion wormholes remain regular and stable in AdS3 for any mouth radius to AdS radius ratio and across topologies, with computable actions that can be included in the 3D gravitational path integral.
