A dynamical theory of traversable wormholes is detailed in spherical symmetry. Generically a wormhole consists of a tunnel of trapped surfaces between two mouths, defined as temporal outer trapping horizons with opposite senses, in mutual…

Recently, it has been shown by Lobo, Parsaei and Riazi (LPR) that phantom energy with $\omega =p_{r}/\rho <-1$ could support phantom wormholes. Several classes of such solutions have been derived by them. While the inner spacetime is…

Traversable wormhole are primarily useful as "gedanken-experiments" and as a theoretician's probe of the foundations of general relativity. In this work, we analyse the possibility of having tunnels in a hyperbolic spacetime. We obtain…
