Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell wormholes in quantum field theory
arXiv:2308.00049 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.084010
Abstract
Charged Dirac fields minimally coupled to gravity have spherically symmetric wormhole solutions known as Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell (EDM) wormholes. EDM wormholes do not make use of exotic matter and exist in asymptotically flat general relativity. We construct static spherically symmetric EDM wormhole configurations in quantum field theory using semiclassical approximations for gravity and the electromagnetic field. Our framework is able to describe a broader class of EDM wormholes than previously considered and, being constructed in quantum field theory, puts EDM wormholes on firmer theoretical ground.
