First a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe filled with dust and a conformally invariant scalar field is quantized. For the closed model we find a discrete set of wormhole quantum states. In the case of flat spacelike sections we find…
We study Euclidean wormholes in the framework of the Horava-Lifshitz theory of gravity. Euclidean wormholes first appeared in the Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity. In a more general way, Hawking and Page interpreted such…

The metric of some Lorentzian wormholes in the background of the FRW universe is obtained. It is shown that for a de Sitter space-time the new solution is supported by Phantom Energy. The wave equation for a scalar field in such backgrounds…
We investigate the possibility of computing energy by means of operators associated to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. By choosing three dimensional wormholes as a framework, we apply such calculation scheme to the black hole pair creation. We…
Wormholes (WH) require negative energy, and therefore an exotic matter source. Since Casimir energy is negative, it has been speculated as a good candidate to source that objects a long time ago. However only very recently a full solution…
We present a minisuperspace analysis of a class of Lorentzian wormholes that evolves quantum mechanically in a background Friedman Robertson Walker spacetime. The quantum mechanical wavefunction for these wormholes is obtained by solving…
In this work we wonder if there is a way to generate a wormhole (WH) in nature using "normal" matter. In order to give a first answer to this question, we study a massless scalar field coupled to an electromagnetic one (dilatonic field)…
One of the latest predictions of Einstein's theory is the existence of Wormholes (WH). In this work, we present exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton equations representing traversable Wormholes. These solutions satisfy the energy…
In this paper we study traversable wormholes in the context of $f(R)$ gravity. Exact solutions of traversable wormholes are found by imposing the nonconstant Ricci scalar. These solutions asymptotically match spherical, flat and hyperbolic…

Wormhole solutions, bridges that connect different parts of spacetime, were proposed early in the history of General Relativity. Soon after, it was shown that all wormholes violate classical energy conditions, which are non-negativity…
