Traversable wormhole solutions are explored in $f(\mathcal{R},\mathbb{T})$ gravity, a curvature--matter extension in which $\mathcal{R}$ is the Ricci scalar and $\mathbb{T}$ denotes the trace of the energy--momentum tensor. To generate…

Among the several modified/extended gravity paradigms, the concept of antisymmetric connections leading to space-time torsion can be traced back to Cartan. More recently, developments in string theory have suggested the existence of a…
In this paper the deflection angle of light by a rotating Teo wormhole spacetime is calculated in the weak limit approximation. We mainly focus on the weak deflection angle by revealing the gravitational lensing as a partially global…
A class of $f(R, T)$ theories extends the Einstein-Hilbert action by incorporating a general function of $R$ and $T$, the Ricci scalar and the trace of the ordinary energy-momentum tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$, respectively, thereby introducing a…
The primary objective of this article is to study the energy condition bounds for spherical and hyperbolic wormholes in well-known $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. For this purpose, we formulate the field equations for spherically and…
We consider the collapse of a charged radiation fluid in a Planck-suppressed quadratic extension of General Relativity (GR) formulated \`{a} la Palatini. We obtain exact analytical solutions that extend the charged Vaidya-type solution of…
This Thesis concerns a thin fluid shell embedded in its own gravitational field. The starting point is a work of Hajicek and Kijowski, where the hamiltonian formalism for shell(s) (with no symmetry) in Einstein gravity is developed. An open…
We present the first results of a self-consistent solution of the semiclassical Einstein field equations corresponding to a Lorentzian wormhole coupled to a quantum scalar field. The specific solution presented here represents a wormhole…
We consider the general scalar field Horndeski Lagrangian coupled to matter. Within this class of models, we present two results that are independent of the particular form of the model. First, we show that in a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker…
In this paper, we explore wormhole solutions in a higher-derivative theory of gravity where the action depends not only on the Ricci scalar \(R\), but also on its d'Alembertian, \(\Box R\). Such \(f(R,\Box R)\) models are motivated by…

We study the problem of existence of static spherically symmetric wormholes supported by the kink-like configuration of a scalar field. With this aim we consider a self-consistent, real, nonlinear, nonminimally coupled scalar field $\phi$…
Although wormholes can be treated as topological objects in spacetime and from a global point-of-view, a precise definition of what a wormhole throat is and where it can be located can be developed and treated entirely in terms of local…
