We find regular axionic Euclidean wormhole solutions in Type IIB string theory compactified on $\text{AdS}_5\times \text{S}^5/\mathbb{Z}_k$. AdS/CFT enables a precise derivation of the axion content of the Euclidean theory, placing the string theory embedding of the wormholes on firm footing. This further sharpens the paradox posed by these solutions.

  1. Positivity of the gravitational path integral implies the axionic weak gravity conjecture

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Positivity of gravitational path integral inner products requires non-perturbative instabilities in axion wormholes that break shift symmetry, implying a sharp axion weak gravity conjecture with precise constants.

  2. Non-invertible symmetries in the axiverse, and the imaginary wormholes

    hep-th 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Imaginary wormholes and the IDB imply that towers of BPS EFT instantons generate infinitely many superpotential terms that break non-invertible axion shift symmetries in N=1 axiverse models.

  3. Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole and flow solutions via imaginary scalar extensions, interpreted as dual to pseudo-Hermitian PT-symmetric theories and entangled brane-antibrane states.

  4. Universality of merons in non-Abelian gauge theories

    hep-th 2026-04 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.

  5. Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole solutions via imaginary scalar extensions whose holographic duals are pseudo-Hermitian and PT-symmetric, interpretable as entangled brane states.

  6. Non-invertible symmetries in the axiverse, and the imaginary wormholes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Identifies invertible and non-invertible generalized symmetries in axiverse EFTs and argues that wormholes break non-invertible axion symmetries via the Imaginary Distance Bound, implying a distinguished role for towe...

  7. Type IIB Axion--Dilaton Wormholes and the BPS Limit Hessian

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    In the axion charge sector of Type IIB, the E=0 BPS instanton has a physical Hessian that factorizes as Q dagger Q, interpreted as an endpoint theorem beyond stability for E>0 wormholes, with separation of throat from...
