Tunnelling with wormhole creation

arXiv:1410.6202 · doi:10.1134/S1063776115030139

Abstract

The description of quantum tunnelling in the presence of gravity shows subtleties in some cases. Here we discuss wormhole production in the context of the spherically symmetric thin-shell approximation. By presenting a fully consistent treatment based on canonical quantization, we solve a controversy present in literature.
