It has been argued that wormholes are as good a prediction of Einstein's theory as black holes but the theoretical construction requires a reverse strategy, specifying the desired geometric properties of the wormhole and leaving open the…
It is shown in this paper that it is possible, at least in principle, to construct a traversable wormhole that is stable to linearized radial perturbations by specifying relatively simple conditions on the shape and redshift functions.

In this paper we search for dynamical traversable wormhole solution in the modified $f(T)$ theory of gravity, $T$ being the torsion scalar. For such wormhole, the time dependence is inserted in the static traversable wormhole metric of…
We consider static and spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in extended metric-affine theories of gravity supposing that stability and traversability of these objects can be achieved by means of the geometric degrees of freedom. In…

This paper explores static wormhole solutions in f(Q,T) theory, where Q is the non-metricity and T is the trace of energy-momentum tensor. We derive the field equations that describe gravitational phenomena in the existence of non-metricity…
While wormholes may be just as good a prediction of Einstein's theory as black holes, they are subject to severe restrictions from quantum field theory. In particular, a wormhole can only be held open by violating the null energy condition,…
