This paper discusses traversable wormholes that differ slightly but significantly from those of the Morris-Thorne type under the assumption of cylindrical symmetry. The throat is a piecewise smooth cylindrical surface resulting in a shape…

It is well known that traversable wormholes are valid solutions of the Einstein field equations, but these structures can only be maintained by violating the null energy condition. In this paper, we have obtained such wormhole solutions in…

Morris \& Thorne \cite{morris1} proposed geometrical objects called traversable wormholes that act as bridges in connecting two spacetimes or two different points of the same spacetime. The geometrical properties of these wormholes depend…

Wormhole is defined as the topological structure with the throat connecting two asymptotically flat spaces. In order to have and maintain the structure of the wormhole, there needs the geometrical flare-out condition, i.e., the minimal size…

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…

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…

In this work, we find exact wormhole solutions in the context of noncommutative geometry, and further explore their physical properties and characteristics. The energy density of these wormhole geometries is a smeared and particle-like…

This paper explores the effect of an extra spatial dimension on a Morris-Thorne wormhole. After proposing a suitable model, it is shown that under certain conditions, the throat of the wormhole can be threaded with ordinary matter, while…

We construct solutions of plane symmetric wormholes in the presence of a negative cosmological constant by matching an interior spacetime to the exterior anti-de Sitter vacuum solution. The spatial topology of this plane symmetric wormhole…

Wide-area deep imaging surveys have discovered large numbers of extremely low surface brightness dwarf galaxies, which challenge galaxy formation theory and, potentially, offer new constraints on the nature of dark matter. Here we discuss…

A general class of solutions is obtained which describe a spherically symmetric wormhole system. The presence of arbitrary functions allows one to describe infinitely many wormhole systems of this type. The source of the stress-energy…
