Analog Model for Euclidean Wormholes Effects

Using results of statistical field theory for systems with an anisotropic disorder, we present an analog model for Euclidean wormholes and topological fluctuation effects in a Riemannian space $\mathcal{M}^\mathrm{d}$. The contribution of wormholes and topological fluctuations to the Euclidean gravitational functional integral is modeled by quenched randomness defined in the $\mathbb{R}^{\mathrm{d}}$ manifold. We obtain a disorder-averaged free energy by taking the average over all the realizations of the random fields. In the scenario of topology fluctuation, there appears a superposition of infinite branes that contribute to the physical quantities. All topology fluctuations can be understood as two distinct kinds of Euclidean wormholes: wormholes confined to one brane, and wormholes connecting different branes.
