Macroscopic traversable wormhole solutions to Einstein's field equations in $(2+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensions with a cosmological constant are investigated. Ensuring traversability severely constrains the material used to generate the…

We consider D-particles coupled to the CGHS dilaton gravity and obtain the exact wormhole geometry and trajectories of D-particles by introducing the exotic matter. The initial static wormhole background is not stable after infalling…

In this work we show the existence of traversable wormhole and time-machine solutions in a modified theory of gravity where matter and curvature are nonminimally coupled. Those solutions present a nontrivial redshift function and exist even…

A dynamical theory of traversable wormholes is detailed in spherical symmetry. Generically a wormhole consists of a tunnel of trapped surfaces between two mouths, defined as temporal outer trapping horizons with opposite senses, in mutual…

In this paper, we analyze static traversable wormholes via Noether symmetry technique in modified Gauss-Bonnet $f(\mathcal{G})$ theory of gravity (where $\mathcal{G}$ represents Gauss-Bonnet term). We assume isotropic matter configuration…

We construct a static axisymmetric wormhole from the gravitational field of two Schwarzschild particles which are kept in equilibrium by strings (ropes) extending to infinity. The wormhole is obtained by matching two three-dimensional…

We investigate static and spherically symmetric traversable wormhole solutions in the framework of $f(Q)$ gravity by considering a power-law model of the form $f(Q)=\gamma(-Q)^m$. By adopting an anisotropic matter distribution and imposing…

In this paper, we explore wormhole solutions in a higher-derivative theory of gravity where the action depends not only on the Ricci scalar \(R\), but also on its d'Alembertian, \(\Box R\). Such \(f(R,\Box R)\) models are motivated by…
