Three dimensional wormholes are global solutions of Einstein-Hilbert action. These space-times which are quotients of a part of global AdS$_{3}$ have multiple asymptotic regions, each with conformal boundary $S^{1}\times\mathbb{R}$, and…
Recently, Ba\~{n}ados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) \cite{BTZ1992} has discovered an explicit vacuum solution of (2+1)-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. It has been argued that the existence of such physical systems…
A possible candidate for the present accelerated expansion of the Universe is ''phantom energy'', which possesses an equation of state of the form $\omega\equiv p/\rho<-1$, consequently violating the null energy condition. As this is the…
We investigate whether a dynamical wormhole could survive in a universe that undergoes a cosmological bounce. First, the conditions under which a wormhole could persist from a contracting to an expanding phase of the cosmos are presented.…
It is a very well known fact that the energy conditions concerning traversable wormhole (WH) solutions of Einstein equations are violated. Consequently, attempts to avoid the violation of the energy conditions constitutes one of the main…
In general relativity, traversable wormholes are possible provided they do not represent shortcuts in the spacetime. Einstein equations, together with the achronal averaged null energy condition, demand to take longer for an observer to go…
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…
It is known that traversable wormhole can exist in General Relativity only if its throat contains some exotic matter. In this paper, we obtain $(2+1)$-dimensional (horizonless) charged magnetic brane without (curvature) singularity. Then,…
Although wormholes can be treated as topological objects in spacetime and from a global point-of-view, a precise definition of what a wormhole throat is and where it can be located can be developed and treated entirely in terms of local…
A class of $f(R, T)$ theories extends the Einstein-Hilbert action by incorporating a general function of $R$ and $T$, the Ricci scalar and the trace of the ordinary energy-momentum tensor $T_{\mu\nu}$, respectively, thereby introducing a…
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…
In this paper, we explore static spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in the framework of $n$-dimensional Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Our objective is to find out wormhole solutions that satisfy energy conditions. For this purpose,…
It has recently been shown that traversable wormholes may be supported by phantom energy. In this work phantom wormhole geometries are modelled by matching an interior traversable wormhole solution, governed by the equation of state…
We consider three-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant coupled to a large number of light matter fields dual to relevant operators. By imposing suitable boundary conditions on the matter fields we find eternal traversable…
A detailed study of quantum and semiclassical Euclidean wormholes for Einstein's theory with a minimally coupled scalar field has been performed for a class of potentials. Massless, constant, massive (quadratic in the scalar field) and…
In this talk I discuss pertinence of the wormholes to the problem of circumventing the light speed barrier and present a specific class of wormholes. The wormholes of this class are static and have arbitrarily wide throats, which makes them…
In the framework of gravothermal evolution of an ideal monatomic fluid, I examine the dynamical instability of the fluid sphere in ($N$+1) dimensions by exploiting Chandrasekhar's criterion to each quasistatic equilibrium along the sequence…

We find a new exact solution to Einstein field equations that represents a cosmological wormhole embedded in a flat Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker universe. The new metric is a generalization of a previous cosmological wormhole…
The conditions of the traversable wormhole joining with the exterior space-time are considered in details and the mixed boundary problem for the Einstein equations is formulated. It is shown that, in opposite to some declarations, the…
