Abstract

Abstract I investigate the (euclidean time) decay of axion charge that occurs in a 3-sphere of constant volume when there is a small charge violating operator perturbing the hamiltonian. I demonstrate that in the limit of large euclidean time T axion charge decays like CT−1, where C depends only logarithmically on the coefficient of the charge violating operator. I apply this result to axionic wormholes, and argue that small wormholes will destabilize large wormholes due to this charge decay.
