Instantons and wormholes in Minkowski and (A)dS spaces. (English) Zbl 1001.83050
Summary: Instanton and wormhole solutions are constructed in a \(d\)-dimensional gravity theory with an axion-dilaton pair of scalar fields. We discuss the cases of vanishing, positive and negative cosmological constant.
