We investigate whether self-maintained vacuum traversible wormhole can exist described by stationary but nonstatic metric. We consider metric being the sum of static spherically symmetric one and a small nondiagonal component which…

This paper addresses the following issues: (1) the possible existence of macroscopic traversable wormholes, given a noncommutative-geometry background, and (2) the possibility of allowing zero tidal forces, given a known density. It is…

The wormhole solution could be found by solving the Einstein field equations with violating the null energy condition (NEC). We represent wormhole solutions in $\kappa(R,T)$ gravity in two different ways. At first, we find the shape…

The static spherically symmetric traversable wormholes are analysed in the Einstein- Cartan theory of gravitation. In particular, we computed the torsion tensor for matter fields with different spin S = 0; 1/2; 1; 3/2. Interestingly, only…

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…

We study the traversable wormhole solutions for a logarithmic corrected $f(R)$ model by considering two different statements of shape $b(r)$ and redshift $\Phi(r)$ functions. We calculate the parameters of the model including energy density…

Wormholes that meet the flare-out condition violate the weak energy condition in classical general relativity. The purpose of this note is to show that even a slight modification of the gravitational theory could, under certain conditions,…

Recently several models of traversable wormholes have been proposed which require only arbitrarily small amounts of negative energy to hold them open against self-collapse. If the exotic matter is assumed to be provided by quantum fields,…
