The F-theorem and F-maximization

SS Pufu - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
This contribution contains a review of the role of the three-sphere free energy F in recent
developments related to the F-theorem and F-maximization. The F-theorem states that for …

AdS Euclidean wormholes

D Marolf, JE Santos - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We explore the construction and stability of asymptotically anti-de Sitter Euclidean
wormholes in a variety of models. In simple ad hoc low-energy models, it is not hard to …
