Swampland Seminar — Gary Shiu

Title: Euclidean Wormholes and the Swampland Abstract: Euclidean wormholes play a crucial role in quantum gravity and holography. I will discuss how we resolved the (in)famous negative mode problem of Euclidean axion wormholes. Then I will describe some recent work in explicitly constructing Euclidean axion wormholes in flat and AdS space from compactifications of string…
