We show how certain types of magnetic asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Euclidean wormholes can catalyze the onset of inflation. These wormholes can be embedded as saddle point solutions of General Relativity coupled to the Standard Model, the inflaton being identified with the Higgs particle. Our scenario is based on the assumption that the quantum effective potential for the Higgs turns negative at a certain high energy window, in line with current measured values for the Higgs and Top quark masses. Within our proposal, we can estimate various parameters and physical quantities of interest, in consistency with current observational bounds.

  1. A Small-Throat Boundary Condition for the Tunneling Wave Function of the Universe

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Tunneling wave function of a closed universe is recovered as the ε o0 limit of a Neumann-plus-small-domain path integral with radiation-induced throat, excluding the unsuppressed outer saddle.

  2. Birth of Inflationary Universes via Wineglass Wormholes and their No-Boundary Relatives

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Wineglass wormholes with a local maximum in the scale factor mediate the birth of inflationary spacetimes and split into background plus no-boundary geometries at small axionic or magnetic charge.

  3. A Menagerie of Wormholes and Cosmologies in the Gravitational Path Integral

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper identifies a variety of Euclidean saddle solutions including wormholes and oscillatory configurations in Einstein-Scalar-Maxwell models, demonstrates how oscillations are controlled by lifting flat potential...

  4. The Baby Universe is Fine and the CFT Knows It: On Holography for Closed Universes

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A closed universe in AdS/CFT is not ruled out by recent SWAP-test arguments; the one-dimensional Hilbert space seen from the CFT is external indistinguishability, and CFT data can reconstruct the closed universe's geometry.

  5. Coexisting Flux String Vacua from Numerical K\"ahler Moduli Stabilisation

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Numerical scans of Type IIB compactifications find single scalar potentials containing coexisting KKLT/LVS and Kahler-uplifted/LVS minima, including AdS, Minkowski, and dS pairs.
