A phase space is built that allows to study, classify and compare easily large classes of static spherically symmetric wormholes solutions, sustained by an isotropic perfect fluid in General Relativity. We determine the possible locations…
We construct an explicit class of dynamic lorentzian wormholes connecting Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetimes. These wormholes can allow two-way transmission of signals between spatially separated regions of spacetime and could…
We study two-sided static wormholes with an exact Killing symmetry that translates both mouths of the wormhole toward the future. This differs from the familiar Kruskal wormhole whose time translation is future-directed only in one…
Wormholes are tunnels connecting different regions in space-time. They were obtained originally as a solution for Einstein's General Relativity theory and according to this theory they need to be filled by an exotic kind of anisotropic…
The notion of spacetime symmetry is essential to describe gravitating physical systems like planets, stars, black holes, or the universe as a whole, since they possess, at least to good approximation, spherical, axial, or spatially…
We describe the dynamics of a cosmological term in the spherically symmetric case by an r-dependent second rank symmetric tensor \Lambda_{\mu\nu} invariant under boosts in the radial direction. The cosmological tensor \Lambda_{\mu\nu}…
We obtain the entropy of a static spherically symmetric wormhole from the entropy of matter consisting it. Some exact wormhole solutions are analyzed in detail and their entropies are obtained. We display the asymptotic forms of the entropy…
We study traversable wormhole solutions in pure gauged $N\!=\!2$ supergravity with and without electromagnetic fields, which are locally isometric under $\mathrm{SO}(2,1)\!\times\!\mathrm{SO}(1,1)$. The model allows for 1/2-BPS wormhole…
We construct wormholes in Einstein-vector-Gauss-Bonnet theory where a real massless vector field is coupled to the higher curvature Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We consider three coupling functions which depend on the square of the vector field.…
Using the cut-and-paste procedure, we construct static and dynamic plane symmetric wormholes by surgically grafting together two spacetimes of plane symmetric vacuum solutions with a negative cosmological constant. These plane symmetric…
For various reasons a number of authors have mooted an "exponential form" for the spacetime metric: \[ ds^2 = - e^{-2m/r} dt^2 + e^{+2m/r}\{dr^2 + r^2(d\theta^2+\sin^2\theta \, d\phi^2)\}. \] While the weak-field behaviour matches nicely…
We argue that standard tools of holography can be used to describe fully non-perturbative microscopic models of cosmology in which a period of accelerated expansion may result from the positive potential energy of time-dependent scalar…
A class of wormhole solutions is constructed that has restricted polar degrees of freedom to achieve a gateway-like configuration. This compels the use of distribution-valued metrics and connections which further compels the use of neutrix…
Recent work on an approach to the geometrodynamics of cylindrical gravity waves in the presence of interacting scalar matter fields, based on the Kucha\v{r} hypertime formalism, is extended to the analogous spherically symmetric system.…
The firm observational confirmation of the late-time acceleration of the universe expansion has proposed a major challenge to the theoretical foundations of cosmology and the explanation of the acceleration mechanism requires the…
A spacetime consisting of parallel electric/magnetic fields held together by its own gravity in the presence of a cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is derived as a limit of the de Sitter/anti-de Sitter C-metric. The limiting procedure is…
This thesis explores traversable wormhole (WH) solutions within symmetric teleparallel gravity and its extensions, including $f(Q)$ and $f(Q, T)$ gravity. Chapter I reviews WH geometry and properties, general relativity, and modified…
The inclusion of the Weyl squared term in the gravitational action is one of the most simple, yet non trivial modifications to General Relativity at high energies. Nevertheless the study of the spherically-symmetric vacuum solutions of this…
In this article, we present a stationary metric ansatz to describe a rotating traversable wormhole in the presence of the topological defect produced by a global monopole charge. This particular rotating space-time is referred to as the…
A new framework is proposed for general dynamic wormholes, unifying them with black holes. Both are generically defined locally by outer trapping horizons, temporal for wormholes and spatial or null for black and white holes. Thus wormhole…
