The massless conformally coupled scalar field is characterized by the so-called "new improved stress-energy tensor", which is capable of classically violating the null energy condition. When coupled to Einstein gravity we find a…

Using the ansatz of Matos and N\'{u}\~{n}ez, the present article proposes an algorithm for generating several classes, not all independent, of asymptotically flat rotating wormhole solutions in the Brans-Dicke Theory. The algorithm allows…

There is nothing to prevent a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter bulk spacetime from containing various other branes in addition to hosting our universe, presumed to be a positive-tension 3-brane. In particular, it could contain closed,…

It is shown in the first part of this paper that a combined model comprising ordinary and quintessential matter can support a traversable wormhole in Einstein-Maxwell gravity. Since the solution allows zero tidal forces, the wormhole is…

A fundamental property in wormhole physics is the flaring-out condition of the throat, which through the Einstein field equation entails the violation of the null energy condition. In the context of modified theories of gravity, it has also…

In this work, we have studied the traversable wormholes geometry in $f(R)$ theory gravity, where $R$ be the Ricci scalar. The wormhole solution for some assumed $f(R)$ functions have been presented. The assumption of $f(R)$ is based on the…

The uniqueness of static spherically symmetric traversable wormholes with two asymptotically flat ends, subject to the higher-dimensional solutions of Einstein-Maxwell-phantom dilaton field equations was proved. We considered the case of an…

Solutions of the field equations of theories of gravity which admit distinct conformal frame representations can look very different in these frames. We show that Brans class IV solutions describe wormholes in the Jordan frame (in a certain…
