When Morris and Thorne first proposed the possible existence of traversable wormholes, they adopted the following strategy: maintain complete control over the geometry, thereby leaving open the determination of the stress-energy tensor. In…

We provide a way for embedding a 4-dimensional geometry corresponding to the Simpson Visser (SV) spacetime which is capable of representing a traversable wormhole, a one-way wormhole, or a regular black hole into a Randall-Sundrum setup. To…

A new class of traversable wormholes was recently constructed which relies only on local bulk dynamics rather than an explicit coupling between distinct boundaries. Here we begin with a four-dimensional Weyl fermion field of any mass $m$…
