Higher-dimensional black holes have long been considered within the context of brane worlds. Recently, it was shown that the brane-world ethos also permits the consideration of higher-dimensional wormholes. When such a wormhole, preexisting…

In this thesis, we investigate traversable wormhole spacetimes within the context of a covariant generalization of Einstein's General Relativity, namely the energy-momentum squared gravity, denoted as $f\left(R,T_{ab}T^{ab}\right)$. Here,…

Brans-Dicke gravity admits spherical solutions describing naked singularities rather than black holes. Depending on some parameters entering such a solution, stable circular orbits exist for all radius. One argues that, despite the fact…

Recently, a novel model for a regular black hole was advocated which possesses an asymptotically Minkowski core implemented via an exponential suppression (in the core region) of the Misner-Sharp quasi-local mass. Using this regular black…
The presence of exotic matter for the existence of the wormhole geometry has been an unavoidable problem in GR. In recent studies researchers have tried to deal with this issue using modified gravity theories where the WH geometry is…
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…
This paper investigates a particular type of wormhole. The wormhole solutions studied are obtained by sewing together two static, spherically symmetric, charged black-hole metrics at their horizons. The charged wormholes are in a background…
We construct wormholes in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory where a real massless vector field is coupled to the higher curvature Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We consider three coupling functions which depend on the square of the vector field.…
In this paper we study the traversability of a wormhole in the context of Asymptotically Safe Gravity (ASG) for two different cases, namely, the spherical case and the pseudospherical case. We carried out an analysis in the throat of the…
The approach of Gao, Jafferis, and Wall to perturbatively construct traversable wormholes has seen success in a number of black hole backgrounds, particularly BTZ and $AdS_2$, whereas historically most wormhole solutions have been either…

Asymptotically flat wormhole solutions are found in the deformed Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity. It turns out that higher curvature terms can not play the role of exotic matters which are crucial to form a traversable wormhole, and external…
This paper discusses the possible existence of traversable wormholes in f(R) modified gravity while assuming a noncommutative-geometry background, as well as zero tidal forces. The first part of the paper aims for an overview via several…
