We obtain a large class of Lorentzian wormhole spacetimes in scalar-tensor gravity, for which the matter stress energy does satisfy the weak energy condition. Our constructions have zero Ricci scalar and an everywhere finite, non-zero…

We present a systematic study of exact solutions for traversable wormhole geometries in a static and hyperbolic symmetric spacetime. In the conventional form of studying wormhole geometry, traversability requires the presence of exotic…

In this paper, we explore wormhole solutions in a higher-derivative theory of gravity where the action depends not only on the Ricci scalar \(R\), but also on its d'Alembertian, \(\Box R\). Such \(f(R,\Box R)\) models are motivated by…

In this study, we explore a topologically charged higher-dimensional traversable defect wormhole, with a specific emphasis on five dimensions. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the matter-energy distribution attributed to this…

In this work, the study of traversable wormholes in $f(R)$-massive gravity with the function $f(R)=R+\alpha_{1} R^{n}$, where $\alpha_{1}$ and $n$ are arbitrary constants, is considered. We choose the modified shape function $b(r)$. We…

This paper discusses the possibility of traversable wormholes in the galactic region supported by dark matter (DM) models and global monopole charge in the context of $f(Q)$ gravity. To understand the features of the wormholes, we…

We study wormhole geometries embedded in an expanding universe within a four-scalar non-linear $\sigma$ model, where the target-space metric is identified with the spacetime Ricci tensor. In this framework, wormholes can remain stable even…

We consider $f(R, T)$ theory of gravity, in which the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, to study static spherically symmetric wormhole geometries…

In this paper, we construct an evolving wormhole in the dark matter halo. This work is relevant since matter has two components: (i) cosmological part (only time-dependent) and (ii) wormhole part (only space-dependent). In order to…

We explore the properties of traversable wormhole spacetimes within the framework of energy-momentum squared gravity, also known as $f(R,T^2)$ gravity, where $R$ represents the Ricci scalar, $T_{ab}$ is the energy-momentum tensor, and $T^2…

When Morris and Thorne first proposed the possible existence of traversable wormholes, they adopted the following strategy: maintain complete control over the geometry, thereby leaving open the determination of the stress-energy tensor. In…
