Wormhole Nucleation via Topological Surgery in Lorentzian Geometry
Alessandro Pisana, Barak Shoshany, Stathis Antoniou +2
We construct a model for the nucleation of a wormhole within a Lorentzian spacetime by employing techniques from topological surgery and Morse theory. In our framework, a 0-surgery…

Preons, Braid Topology, and Representations of Fundamental Particles
David Chester, Xerxes D. Arsiwalla, Louis H. Kauffman
In particle phenomenology, preon models study compositional rules of standard model interactions. In spite of empirical success, mathematical underpinnings of preon models in terms…
