In this work, we construct traversable wormhole geometries in the context of f(R) modified theories of gravity. We impose that the matter threading the wormhole satisfies the energy conditions, so that it is the effective stress-energy…

In this work we analyze traversable wormhole spacetimes in the framework of a covariant generalization of Einstein's General Relativity known as energy-momentum squared gravity, or $f\left(R,\mathcal T\right)$ gravity, where $R$ is the…

We consider the possibility of multiply-connected spacetimes, ranging from the Flamm-Einstein-Rosen bridge, geons, and the modern renaissance of traversable wormholes. A fundamental property in wormhole physics is the flaring-out condition…

We present an analysis of the classic wormhole geometries based on conformal Weyl gravity, rather than standard general relativity. The main characteristics of the resulting traversable wormholes remain the same as in the seminal study by…

It is known that static traversable wormhole in Einstein gravity is supported by matter that violates null energy conditions (NEC). Essentially such wormhole will be characterised by a central throat with anisotropic matter lining the…

We construct the membrane paradigm for black objects in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in spacetime dimensions $ \ge 5$. As in the case of general relativity, the horizon can be modeled as a membrane endowed with fluidlike properties. We…

Following the recent theory of Lovelock-Brans-Dicke gravity, we continue to investigate the conditions to support traversable wormholes by the gravitational effects of spacetime parity and topology, which arise from the nonminimal couplings…

We derive exact traversable wormhole solutions in the framework of $f(R)$ gravity with no exotic matter and with stable conditions over the geometric fluid entering the throat. For this purpose, we propose power-law $f(R)$ models and two…

Traversable wormholes have traditionally been viewed as intrinsically topological entities in some multiply connected spacetime. Here, we show that topology is too limited a tool to accurately characterize a generic traversable wormhole: in…

This study explores the potential existence of traversable wormholes influenced by a global monopole charge within the $f(Q)$ gravity framework. To elucidate the characteristics of these wormholes, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of…

Ellis-Bronnikov (EB) wormholes require violation of null energy conditions at the `throat'. This problem was cured by a simple modification of the `shape function', which introduces a new parameter $m\ge 2$ ($m=2$ corresponds to the EB…
