Boundary conditions for axionic wormholes, imaginary distance bound and KSW allowability

Shubhashis Mallik, Neha, Gaurav Narain

We study four-dimensional axion wormholes in the Lorentzian mini-superspace path integral using dual scalar and three-form flux formulations. We analyze this duality for generic me…

IR behaviour of one-loop complex saddles

Shubhashis Mallik, Gaurav Narain

Gravitational path-integral over complex metrics with fluctuations is studied in 4D for Einstein-Hilbert gravity in Lorentzian signature, with the aim to inv…

Note on KSW-allowability of Wine-Glass Geometry

Manishankar Ailiga, Gaurav Narain

In this note we consider no-boundary instantons and wine-glass geometries which are of interest in the context of quantum cosmology. While the former usually appears as a dominant…

Boundary choices and one-loop complex gravitational path integral

Manishankar Ailiga, Shubhashis Mallik, Gaurav Narain

The path integral of 4D Einstein-Hilbert gravity for the de Sitter-like Universe with fluctuations is investigated, and the transition amplitude from one boundary configuration to…

Lorentzian Robin Universe of Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

Manishankar Ailiga, Shubhashis Mallik, Gaurav Narain

The gravitational path-integral of Gauss-Bonnet gravity is investigated and the transition from one spacelike boundary configuration to another is analyzed. Of particular interest…
