Space-time wormholes with Yang-Mills fields
Description
Recently, Hosoya and Ogura found a wormhole instanton solution with a nontrivial SU(2) magnetic field. In this paper, we identify their solution with the gravitating meron configuration of the SU(2) gauge theory. In addition, we also find a generalized Yang-Mills wormhole solution with nontrivial electric and magnetic fields. These correspond to the 'nested' meron wormholes. Fermion dynamics on these wormhole backgrounds and implications for low-energy physics are also discussed. (orig.)
