  What is the dynamical interpretation of a wormhole in the worldsheet of a string?

+ 5 like - 0 dislike
643 views

As explained in this paper and at the beginning of this TRF article, via AdS/CFT (and also ER/EPR) the entangled pair of a pair of colored quasi-particles corresponds to a wormhole on the worldsheed of the corresponding QCD string.

How is such a wormhole on the worldsheet interpretted from a string dynamic point of view? Conventionally the evolution of a worldsheet describes interactions between strings, such that a hole for example corresponds to the splitting and successive joining of strings, a handle describes the emission and reabsorptinon of a string, etc ...

But what does a wormhole on the worldsheed (or even on worldvolumes of higher dimensional objects) do from this point of view?

Part of answer to your question seems to appear in this paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2065, page 6:The string worlsheet has worldvolume horizon at z=b, and thus the induced geometry is that of a non-traversable wormhole.
