In this work we explore the possible existence of static, spherically symmetric and stationary, axisymmetric traversable wormholes coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. Considering static and spherically symmetric (2+1) and…

Wormholes are non-trivial topological structures that arise as exact solutions to Einstein's field equations, theoretically connecting distinct regions of spacetime via a throat-like geometry. While static traversable wormholes necessarily…

Static, spherically symmetric, traversable wormhole solutions with electric or magnetic charges are shown to exist in general relativity in the presence of scalar fields nonminimally coupled to gravity. These wormholes, however, turn out to…

In this paper, we discuss the thermodynamic properties of the evolving Lorentzian wormhole. For the shape function $b(r) = r_{0}^2/r$, it is shown that the wormhole spacetime admits two apparent horizons, the inner and the outer one. The…

A wormhole is a hypothetical tunnel through space. We employ the techniques taught in a standard calculus course to generate the images (embedding diagrams) of the Schwarzschild Wormhole and the Thorne-Morris Wormhole.

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…

From physics standpoint exotic matter problem is a major difficulty in thin-shell wormholes (TSWs) with spherical / cylindrical throat topologies. We aim to circumvent this handicap by considering angular dependent throats in…

We consider the process of catastrophic expansion of a spacelike wormhole after a violation of its equilibrium state. The dynamics of deformation of the comoving reference frame is investigated. We show that the deformation has a very…

We describe in details the procedure how the Lobachevsky space can be factorized to a space of the constant negative curvature filled with a gas of wormholes. We show that such wormholes have throat sections in the form of tori and are…

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…

The well-known problem of wormholes in general relativity (GR) is the necessity of exotic matter, violating the Weak Energy Condition (WEC), for their support. This problem looks easier if, instead of island-like configurations, one…

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…
