We consider quantum real massive scalar field in the de Sitter-Schwarzschild space-time backround. To have an analytic head way we study in detail the two-dimensional case, assuming that the situation in four dimensions will not be much…

Traversable wormholes necessarily require violations of the averaged null energy condition; this being the definition of ``exotic matter''. However, the theorems which guarantee the energy condition violation are remarkably silent when it…

The discovery that the Universe is undergoing an accelerated expansion has suggested the existence of an evolving equation of state. This paper discusses various wormhole solutions in a spherically symmetric spacetime with an equation of…

We present the general method of constructing curved traversable wormholes in (3+1)-d spacetime and proceed to thoroughly discuss the physics of a zero tidal force metric without cross-terms. The (3+1)-d solution is compared with the…

We present a traversable-wormhole solution of the gravitational field equation of General Relativity without need of exotic matter (exotic matter can, for example, have negative energy density and vanishing isotropic pressure). Instead of…

The study of traversable wormholes is very hot topic for the past 30 years. One of the best possible way to make traversable wormhole is using the thin-shells to cut and paste two spacetime which has tunnel from one region of space-time to…

We are presenting a quantum traversable wormhole in an exactly soluble two-dimensional model. This is different from previous works since the exotic negative energy that supports the wormhole is generated from the quantization of classical…

We construct slowly rotating traversable wormholes in the presence of an anisotropic fluid. Starting from a Teo-type stationary, axisymmetric extension of the Morris-Thorne metric, we perform a slow-rotation expansion, fix a gauge that…

We investigate the possibility of obtaining traversable wormholes supported by phantom scalar fields in Lorentz-violating gravity with an antisymmetric rank-2 tensor with a non-zero vacuum expectation value non-minimally coupled to the…

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 review a new traversable-wormhole solution of the gravitational field equation of general relativity without exotic matter. Instead of having exotic matter to keep the wormhole throat open, the solution relies on a 3-dimensional…

Scalar-tensor $f(R)$ theory of gravity is considered in the framework of a simple inhomogeneous space-time model. In this we use the reconstruction technique to look for possible evolving wormhole solutions within viable $f(R)$ gravity…

Recently several models of traversable wormholes have been proposed which require only arbitrarily small amounts of negative energy to hold them open against self-collapse. If the exotic matter is assumed to be provided by quantum fields,…
