Abstract

We present a quasiperiodic self-dual metric of the Gibbons-Hawking type with one gravitational instanton per spacetime cell. The solution, based on an adaptation of Weierstrassian ζ and σ functions to three dimensions, conforms to a definition of spacetime foam given by Hawking. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
