We investigate non-extremal D-instantons in an asymptotically $ AdS_5 \timesS^5$ background and the role they play in the $ AdS_5 / CFT_4$ correspondence.We find that the holographic dual operators of non-extremal D-instantonconfigurations do not correspond to self-dual Yang-Mills instantons, and wecompute explicitly the deviation from self-duality. Furthermore, a class ofnon-extremal D-instantons yield Euclidean axionic wormhole solutions with twoasymptotic boundaries. After Wick rotating, this provides a playground forinvestigating holography in the presence of cosmological singularities in aclosed universe.Comment: 30 pages, 3 figure
