The C-metric in vacuum general relativity describes a pair of accelerated
black holes supported by conical singularity. In this paper, we present a new
family of exact solutions to the Einstein-phantom scalar system that describes
accelerated wormholes in AdS. In the zero acceleration limit with a vanishing
potential, the present solution recovers the asymptotically flat wormhole
originally constructed by Ellis and Bronnikov. The scalar potential of the
phantom field has an infinite number of critical points and is expressed in
terms of the superpotential, which is obtained by suitable analytic
continuation of one parameter family of the N=2 gauged supergravity.
As one traverses two asymptotic regions connected by throat, the scalar field
evolves from AdS, corresponding to the origin of the potential, towards the
neighboring AdS local minimum of the potential. We find that the flipping
transformation, which interchanges the role of ``radial'' and "angular''
coordinates at the expense of double Wick rotation, is an immediate cause for
the existence of two branches of static AdS wormholes discovered previously.
Contrary to the ordinary C-metric, the conical singularity along the symmetry
axis can be completely resolved, when the (super)potential is periodic or zero.
We explore the global causal structure in detail.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
