We directly connect topological changes that can occur in mathematical three-space via surgery, with black hole formation, the formation of wormholes and new generalizations of these phenomena. This work widens the bridge between topology and natural sciences and creates a new platform for exploring geometrical physics.

  1. Wormhole Nucleation via Topological Surgery in Lorentzian Geometry

    gr-qc 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Wormhole nucleation is achieved via 0-surgery yielding a singular cobordism, resolved by connected sum with CP² to produce a nonsingular Lorentzian metric with closed timelike curves and violated energy conditions.
