The paper shows that Euclidean axion wormholes remain regular and stable in AdS3 for any mouth radius to AdS radius ratio and across topologies, with computable actions that can be included in the 3D gravitational path integral.

AdS3 axion wormholes as stable contributions to the Euclidean gravitational path integral
