A handlebody calculus for topology change

Class.Quant.Grav. 15 (1998) 1859-1879 We consider certain interesting processes in quantum gravity which involve a change of spatial topology. We use Morse theory and the machinery of handlebodies to characterise topology changes as suggested by Sorkin. Our results support the view that that the pai...

description Class.Quant.Grav. 15 (1998) 1859-1879 We consider certain interesting processes in quantum gravity which involve a change of spatial topology. We use Morse theory and the machinery of handlebodies to characterise topology changes as suggested by Sorkin. Our results support the view that that the pair production of Kaluza-Klein monopoles and the nucleation of various higher dimensional objects are allowed transitions with non-zero amplitude.
