Here we shall show how to reconstruct the shape function of a spherically symmetric traversable Lorenzian wormhole near its throat if one knows high frequency quasinormal modes of the wormhole. The wormhole spacetime is given by the…

Morris and Thorne developed wormhole solutions in the late 1980s when they discovered a recipe that wormholes must follow for travelers to cross them safely. They describe exotic matter as satisfying $-p_{r} > \rho$, where $p_{r}$ is the…

Embedding theorems, which have a long history in the general theory of relativity, are used in this paper to account for two of the most troubling aspects of Morris-Thorne wormholes, (1) the origin of exotic matter and the amount needed to…

Among the several modified/extended gravity paradigms, the concept of antisymmetric connections leading to space-time torsion can be traced back to Cartan. More recently, developments in string theory have suggested the existence of a…

Holding a Morris-Thorne wormhole open requires a violation of the null energy condition, calling for the need for so-called exotic matter near the throat. Many researchers consider exotic matter to be completely unphysical in classical…

In this paper, quantum theory of a real massive scalar field in the background of a traversable wormhole is examined. The wormhole is supposed to connect two different universes; as a particular example the simplest Ellis wormhole is…

Morris \& Thorne \cite{morris1} proposed geometrical objects called traversable wormholes that act as bridges in connecting two spacetimes or two different points of the same spacetime. The geometrical properties of these wormholes depend…

Traversable wormholes have traditionally been viewed as intrinsically topological entities in some multiply connected spacetime. Here, we show that topology is too limited a tool to accurately characterize a generic traversable wormhole: in…

We construct slowly rotating traversable wormholes in the presence of an anisotropic fluid. Starting from a Teo-type stationary, axisymmetric extension of the Morris-Thorne metric, we perform a slow-rotation expansion, fix a gauge that…

Wormhole solutions in classical General Relativity are unstable and hence non traversable. Morris and Thorne discovered a traversable wormhole solution that required the energy momentum tensor of matter sources to violate various energy…

The theoretical construction of a traversable wormhole proposed by Morris and Thorne maintains complete control over the geometry by assigning both the shape and redshift functions, thereby leaving open the determination of the…

When Morris and Thorne first proposed the possible existence of traversable wormholes, they adopted the following strategy: maintain complete control over the geometry, thereby leaving open the determination of the stress-energy tensor. In…

Wormhole is defined as the topological structure with the throat connecting two asymptotically flat spaces. In order to have and maintain the structure of the wormhole, there needs the geometrical flare-out condition, i.e., the minimal size…

We study the process of quantum tunnelling in self-interacting scalar field theories with non-minimal coupling to gravity. In these theories gravitational instantons can develop a neck -- a feature prohibited in theories with minimal…
