Wormholes are non-trivial topological structures that arise as exact solutions to Einstein's field equations, theoretically connecting distinct regions of spacetime via a throat-like geometry. While static traversable wormholes necessarily…

We study spherically symmetric, self-similar wormhole solutions supported by colliding streams of negative-energy null dust, and their dynamical formation. Under the assumption of self-similarity, the Einstein equations reduce to a system…

An analytical solution representing traversable asymptotically flat and symmetric wormholes was obtained without adding exotic matter in two different theories independently: in the Einstein-Maxwell-Dirac theory and in the second…

We investigate traversable wormhole solutions within a four-dimensional effective theory derived from a five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons action with a non-minimally coupled scalar field. A warped Kaluza-Klein compactification…

The existence of Traversable Wormhole (TW) in the 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D-EGB) gravity is explored with phenomenological Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) dark matter density profile. In the framework of 4D EGB gravity, which one obtains…

We argue that a spherically symmetric traversable wormhole solution of the Einstein field equations can be supported by minimally coupled self-interacting scalar field which allows a spontaneous symmetry breaking of the field around the…

We present a family of charged, traversable wormhole solutions in the presence of a cosmological constant. In de Sitter spacetime, two types of wormhole throats can exist--referred to as typical and cosmological throat--located at small and…

In 6D general relativity with a scalar field as a source of gravity, a new type of static wormhole solutions is presented: such wormholes connect our universe with a small 2D extra subspace with a universe where this extra subspace is…
