We investigate the dynamical collapse of Bronnikov-Ellis (BE) wormhole using the double-null formalism, where its throat is characterized by the coincidence of two curves $r_{,u} = 0$ and $r_{,v} = 0$. The emission of two ingoing pulses:…

We revisit the numerical evolution of Ellis-Bronnikov-Morris-Thorne wormholes, which are constructed with a massless real ghost scalar field. For our simulations, we have developed a new code based on the standard 3+1 foliation of…

Recently, there has been quite a lot of interest in static, spherical wormhole spacetimes and the question of their stability with respect to time-dependent perturbations. The consideration of linearized perturbations usually leads to a…

We construct higher-dimensional traversable wormholes in quasi-topological gravity (QTG) supported by a phantom scalar field. Using a static, spherically symmetric ansatz, we numerically analyze how quasi-topological gravity corrections…

We numerically investigate the dynamical evolution of spherically symmetric charge free wormholes. We concentrate on two specific examples, both of which exhibit wormhole expansion and wormhole collapse: the Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole, which…

In this paper, we investigate the simplest wormhole solution - the Ellis-Bronnikov one - in the context of the Asymptotically Safe Gravity (ASG) at the Planck scale. We work with three models, which employ Ricci scalar, Kretschmann scalar,…

We study numerically the stability of Morris & Thorne's first traversible wormhole, shown previously by Ellis to be a solution for a massless ghost Klein-Gordon field. Our code uses a dual-null formulation for spherically symmetric…

We study linear scalar perturbations of the four-dimensional, traversable wormhole solution of Maldacena, Milekhin, and Popov(arXiv:1807.04726). The geometry is constructed by matching an asymptotically flat, near-extremal…

We analyze the nonlinear evolution of spherically symmetric wormhole solutions coupled to a massless ghost scalar field using numerical methods. In a previous article we have shown that static wormholes with these properties are unstable…

We consider slowly rotating Ellis-Bronnikov wormholes and investigate their radial perturbations ($\mathrm{l}=0$), expanding up to second order in rotation. We present the detailed derivations in the general case, including symmetric and…

It has been argued that the recently detected ring-down gravity waveforms could be indicative only of the presence of light rings in a horizonless object, such as a surgical Schwarzschild wormhole, with the frequencies differing drastically…

We compute the transmission properties of electromagnetic (EM), gravitational wave (GW), and static gravitational perturbations through geometric throats in spherically symmetric spacetimes. On the ultrastatic Ellis-Bronnikov background,…

We revisit a family of ultra-static Lorentzian wormholes which includes Ellis-Bronnikov spacetime as a special case. We first show how the required total matter stress energy (which violates the local energy conditions) may be split into a…

It is concluded in the literature that Ellis wormhole is unstable under small perturbations and would decay either to the Schwarzschild black hole or expand away to infinity. While this deterministic conclusion of instability is correct, we…
