Space-time wormholes were introduced in Wheeler's idea of space-time foam. Traversible wormholes as defined by Morris & Thorne became popular as potential short cuts across the universe and even time machines. More recently, the author…
We employ an old field theory model, formulated and discussed by Born, Infeld, Hoffman and Rosen during 1930s. Our method of cutting-gluing of spacetimes resolves the double-valuedness in the displacement vector D(E), pointed out by these…

Generalizing of the Maxwell field to nonlinear electrodynamics theories, we look for the magnetic solutions. In initial approximation these models give the usual linear electrodynamics. We consider a suitable metric and investigate the…

It is shown in this paper that thin-shell wormholes, mathematically constructed by the standard cut-and-paste technique, can, under fairly general conditions, be compatible with quantum field theory.
