Estimating global charge violating amplitudes from wormholes

Abstract

We consider the scattering of high energy and ultra relativistic spherically symmetric shells in asymptotically AdSD spacetimes. We analyze an exclusive amplitude where a single spherically symmetric shell goes in and a single one comes out, such that the two have different global symmetry charges of the effective gravity theory. We study a simple wormhole configuration that computes the square of the amplitude and analyze its properties.
