The recent renaissance of wormhole physics has led to a very disturbing observation: If traversable wormholes exist then it appears to be rather easy to to transform such wormholes into time machines. This extremely disturbing state of…

We present a wormhole construction in the framework of the $f(R,T)$ extended gravity theory, with $R$ being the Ricci curvature scalar and $T$ the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, in the case in which the energy-momentum tensor is…

We investigate negative tension branes as stable thin shell wormholes in Reissner-Nordstrom-(anti) de Sitter spacetimes in $d$ dimensional Einstein gravity. Imposing Z2 symmetry, we construct and classify traversable static thin shell…
