Abstract

We cut a general, static, spherically symmetric spacetime and paste its copy to make a wormhole with a thin shell of any barotropic fluid in general relativity. We show that the stability of the thin-shell wormhole is characterized by a set of circular photon orbits called an (anti)photon sphere in the original spacetime if a momentum flux passing through a throat is prohibited. Our result will be useful to classify the stability of the thin shell on the throat against linearized spherically symmetric perturbations.
