We present new, asymptotically flat, static, spherically symmetric and traversable wormhole solutions in General Relativity which are supported by a family of ghost scalar fields with quartic potential. This family consists of a particular…

It has recently been shown that traversable wormholes may be supported by phantom energy. In this work phantom wormhole geometries are modelled by matching an interior traversable wormhole solution, governed by the equation of state…

It is generally believed that wormholes are supported by exotic matter violating Null Energy Condition (NEC). However, various studies of wormhole geometries under Lovelock theories of gravity have reported existence of wormhole supported…

It has been suggested that a possible candidate for the present accelerated expansion of the Universe is ''phantom energy''. The latter possesses an equation of state of the form $\omega\equiv p/\rho<-1$, consequently violating the null…

In this paper, we investigated the space-time obtained by quotients of the $AdS_4$ space-time. Further quotient with specific $\mathbb{Z}_2$ is considered. Taking up to the first-order perturbation in metric, we estimated the backreaction…

The quartic self-interacting conformal scalar field is used to construct a thin-shell wormhole satisfying all energy conditions. Accompanying the scalar field is the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole with a positive cosmological…

It is known that static traversable wormhole in Einstein gravity is supported by matter that violates null energy conditions (NEC). Essentially such wormhole will be characterised by a central throat with anisotropic matter lining the…

We investigate the possibility of obtaining traversable wormholes supported by phantom scalar fields in Lorentz-violating gravity with an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor with a non-zero vacuum expectation value non-minimally coupled to the…

Wormholes (WHs) are considered as hypothetical shortcuts or tunnels in spacetime. In general relativity (GR), the fundamental ingredient of WH geometry is the presence of exotic matter at the throat, which is responsible for the violation…

It is proved that no wormholes can be formed in viable scalar-tensor models of dark energy admitting its phantom-like ($w < -1$) behaviour in cosmology, even in the presence of electric or magnetic fields, if the non-minimal coupling…

Recently a bound on negative energy densities in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime was derived for a minimally coupled, quantized, massless, scalar field in an arbitrary quantum state. The bound has the form of an uncertainty…

We show that the presence of a nonminimal interaction between dark matter and dark energy may lead to a violation of the null energy condition and to the formation of a configuration with nontrivial topology (a wormhole). In this it is…
