Topology Change in General Relativity
read the original abstract
A review is given of recent work on topology changing solutions to the first order form of general relativity. These solutions have metrics which are smooth everywhere, invertible almost everywhere, and have bounded curvature. The importance of considering degenerate metrics is discussed, and the possibility that quantum effects can suppress topology change is briefly examined.

Wormhole Nucleation via Topological Surgery in Lorentzian Geometry
Wormhole nucleation is achieved via 0-surgery yielding a singular cobordism, resolved by connected sum with CP² to produce a nonsingular Lorentzian metric with closed timelike curves and violated energy conditions.
