Based on the recently introduced black-bounce spacetimes, we shall consider the construction of the related spherically symmetric thin-shell traversable wormholes within the context of standard general relativity. All of the really unusual…

We investigate whether a dynamical wormhole could survive in a universe that undergoes a cosmological bounce. First, the conditions under which a wormhole could persist from a contracting to an expanding phase of the cosmos are presented.…

A possible astrophysical object to be found in General Relativity is the wormhole. This special solution describes a topological bridge connecting points in two distinguished universes or two different points in the same universe. Despite…

In the present work, we develop and examine a series of exact solutions to Einstein's 5-dimensional field equations in the vacuum, which depend on two constant parameters, $p$ and $q$, which generalize the solutions of L\"u and Mei [8]…

We construct traversable wormholes in dilatonic Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four spacetime dimensions, without needing any form of exotic matter. We determine their domain of existence, and show that these wormholes satisfy a…

One of the latest predictions of Einstein's theory is the existence of Wormholes (WH). In this work, we present exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton equations representing traversable Wormholes. These solutions satisfy the energy…

There are a number of reasons to study wormholes with generic cosmological constant $\Lambda$. Recent observations indicate that present accelerating expansion of the universe demands $\Lambda>0$. On the other hand, some extended theories…

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…

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…

One way to explain the present acceleration of the Universe is Einstein's cosmological constant. It is quite likely, in view of some recent studies, that a time-dependent equation of state had caused the Universe to evolve from an earlier…
