Abstract
A classical wormhole solution is constructed for gravity couples to a positive energg, maplese scalar field. We examine carefully the definitions of euclideanization, and find that this solution is equivalent to the wormhole previously obtained for gravity coupled to an antisymmetric, two-index gauge potential, which is locally dual to the scalar field. However, as we explain, this wormhole solution is characterized by a scalar field configuration which is co.
