Non-Extremal D-instantons and the AdS/CFT Correspondence
read the original abstract
We investigate non-extremal D-instantons in an asymptotically $ AdS_5 \times S^5$ background and the role they play in the $ AdS_5 / CFT_4$ correspondence. We find that the holographic dual operators of non-extremal D-instanton configurations do not correspond to self-dual Yang-Mills instantons, and we compute explicitly the deviation from self-duality. Furthermore, a class of non-extremal D-instantons yield Euclidean axionic wormhole solutions with two asymptotic boundaries. After Wick rotating, this provides a playground for investigating holography in the presence of cosmological singularities in a closed universe.

Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals
Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole and flow solutions via imaginary scalar extensions, interpreted as dual to pseudo-Hermitian PT-symmetric theories and entangled brane-antibrane states.

Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound
Wormhole effects in theories with imaginary massless scalars set an upper limit on analytic continuation of couplings to imaginary values, with string theory examples showing the low-energy theory breaks down at or be...
