The Real Wick Rotations in Quantum Gravity
Abstract
We discuss Wick rotations in the context of gravity, with emphasis on a non-perturbative Wick rotation proposed in hep-th/0103186 mapping real Lorentzian metrics to real Euclidean metrics in proper-time coordinates. As an application, we demonstrate how this Wick rotation leads to a correct answer for a two dimensional non-perturbative path-integral.
