In this work, we intend to explore wormhole geometries in the framework of $f(R,L_m)$ gravity. We derive the field equations for the generic $f(R,L_m)$ function by assuming the static and spherically symmetric Morris-Thorne wormhole metric.…

Motivated by recent proposals of possible wormhole existence in galactic halos, we analyse the cosmological evolution of wormhole solutions in modified $f(R)$ gravity. We construct a dynamical wormhole that asymptotically approaches FLRW…

We present a systematic study of exact solutions for traversable wormhole geometries in a static and hyperbolic symmetric spacetime. In the conventional form of studying wormhole geometry, traversability requires the presence of exotic…

This study explores asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in $f(Q,T)=\alpha Q+ \beta T$ gravity, expanding upon our prior work (arXiv:2602.00527v1) with matter Lagrangian density, $L_m=-P$ . Here, we examine the implications of employing…

Teleparallel gravity theories employ a tetrad and a Lorentz spin connection as independent variables in their covariant formulation. In order to solve their field equations, it is helpful to search for solutions which exhibit certain…
