Abstract

In this paper we have established an asymptotically conical Morris-Thorne wormhole solution supported by anisotropic matter fluid and a global monopole charge in the framework of a 1+31+3 dimensional gravity minimally coupled to a triplet of scalar fields ϕa\phi^a, resulting from the breaking of a global O(3)O(3) symmetry. For the anisotropic matter fluid we have considered the equation of state (EoS) given by Pr=ωρ\mathcal{P}_r=\omega \rho, with a consequence ω<1\omega<-1, implying a so-called phantom energy at the throat of the wormhole which violates the energy conditions. In addition, we study the weak gravitational lensing effect using the Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT) applied to the wormhole optical geometry. We show that the total deflection angle consists of a term given by 4π2η24\pi^2 \eta^2 , which is independent from the impact parameter bb, and an additional term which depends on the radius of the wormhole throat b0b_0 as well as the dimensionless constant ζ\zeta.
