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…
We demonstrate that rotating matter sets the throat of an Ellis wormhole into rotation, allowing for wormholes which possess full reflection symmetry with respect to the two asymptotically flat spacetime regions. We analyze the properties…
We construct traversable wormholes by starting with simple four-dimensional classical solutions respecting the null energy condition and containing a pair of oppositely charged black holes connected by a non-traversable wormhole. We then…
The solutions of traversable wormholes and their geometries are investigated in higher-curvature gravity with boundary terms for each case under the presence of anisotropic, isotropic and barotropic fluids in detail. For each case, the…
In this article, we construct a class of constant curvature and spherically symmetric thin-shell Lorentzian wormholes in F(R) theories of gravity and we analyze their stability under perturbations preserving the symmetry. We find that the…
In this paper we derive new static phantom traversable wormholes by assuming a shape function with a quadratic dependence on the radial coordinate r. We mainly focus our study on wormholes sustained by exotic matter with positive energy…
This paper addresses the following issues: (1) the possible existence of macroscopic traversable wormholes, given a noncommutative-geometry background, and (2) the possibility of allowing zero tidal forces, given a known density. It is…
We consider wormhole geometries subject to a gravitational action consisting of non-linear powers of the Ricci scalar. Specifically, wormhole throats are studied in the case where Einstein gravity is supplemented with a Ricci-squared and…
Wormhole geometries in curvature-matter coupled modified gravity are explored, by considering an explicit nonminimal coupling between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature, R, and the Lagrangian density of matter. It is the…
Traversability across thin shells is investigated, with special attention devoted to the difference in tides related with different global properties of the geometries. While we have recently associated curvature jumps across infinitely…
We build five-dimensional spherically symmetric wormholes within the DGP theory. We calculate the energy localized on the shell, and we find that the wormholes could be supported by matter not violating the energy conditions. We also show…
We revisit the regular black hole found by Hayward in $4-$dimensional static, spherically symmetric spacetime. To find a possible source for such a spacetime we resort to the non-linear electrodynamics in general relativity. It is found…
It is well known that solutions of general relativity which allow for traversable wormholes require the existence of exotic matter (matter that violates weak or null energy conditions [WEC or NEC]). In this article, we provide a class of…
Using exactly solvable models, it is shown that black hole singularities in different electrically charged configurations can be cured. Our solutions describe black hole space-times with a wormhole giving structure to the otherwise…
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…
We consider four-dimensional wormholes immersed in bosonic matter. While their existence is based on the presence of a phantom field, many of their interesting physical properties are bestowed upon them by an ordinary complex scalar field,…
This paper extends an earlier study by the author [Phys. Rev. D, vol. 98, 064041 (2018), arXiv:1809.01993] in several significant ways. To begin with, the extra spatial dimension is assumed to be time dependent, while the redshift and shape…
We study the possible existence of static traversable wormholes without invoking exotic matter in the framework of the Einstein--Cartan theory. A family of exact static, spherically symmetric wormhole solutions with an arbitrary throat…
It is well known that phantom energy, which is characterized by the equation of state $p=\omega\rho$, $\omega <-1$, can support Morris-Thorne wormholes since it leads to a violation of the null energy condition. The purpose of this note is…
We introduce two classes of spherically symmetric spacetimes having a thin shell of matter, in non-quadratic F(R) theories of gravity with non-constant scalar curvature R. In the first, the thin shell joins an inner region with an outer…
