We establish a general no--go theorem demonstrating that all traversable wormhole configurations in Unimodular Gravity necessarily require exotic matter. The proof relies solely on the geometric flaring-out condition, $b'(r_0) \leq 1$,…

We construct static, spherically symmetric wormhole solutions with a nontrivial redshift function, inspired by noncommutative geometry, in which point sources are replaced by Gaussian smearing of minimal length, yielding a regular shape…

A fundamental property in wormhole physics is the flaring-out condition of the throat, which through the Einstein field equation entails the violation of the null energy condition. In the context of modified theories of gravity, it has also…

We review a new traversable-wormhole solution of the gravitational field equation of general relativity without exotic matter. Instead of having exotic matter to keep the wormhole throat open, the solution relies on a 3-dimensional…

We investigate possible manifolds characterizing traversable wormholes in the presence of a scalar field minimally coupled to gravity, which has both kinetic and potential energy. The feature of traversability requires the violation of the…

It is shown in the first part of this paper that a combined model comprising ordinary and quintessential matter can support a traversable wormhole in Einstein-Maxwell gravity. Since the solution allows zero tidal forces, the wormhole is…

To gain more insights about what could be the source of the Alcubierre warp drive, a technique designed to find an orthogonal basis from the metric expression is used. It is deduced that exotic fluids can produce the same stress-energy…

Models of static wormholes are investigated in the framework of $f(\textit{R}, \textit{T})$ gravity ($\textit{R}$ being the curvature scalar, and $\textit{T}$ the trace of the energy momentum tensor). An attempt to link the energy density…

It is known that Lorentzian wormholes must be threaded by matter that violates the null energy condition. We phenomenologically characterize such exotic matter by a general class of microscopic scalar field Lagrangians and formulate the…

Wormhole solutions in classical General Relativity are unstable and hence non traversable. Morris and Thorne discovered a traversable wormhole solution that required the energy momentum tensor of matter sources to violate various energy…

This paper explores the effect of an extra spatial dimension on a Morris-Thorne wormhole. After proposing a suitable model, it is shown that under certain conditions, the throat of the wormhole can be threaded with ordinary matter, while…

Abstract This short paper investigates the harmonic behavior of a general-relativistic thin-shell wormhole supported by a particular type of exotic fluid. The exotic fluid obeys a never-studied-before metric-dependent equation of state.…
