Traversable wormholes in bi-metric gravity
Abstract
The ghost-free bi-metric gravity theory is a viable theory of gravity that explores the interaction between a massless and a massive graviton and can be described in terms of two dynamical metrics. In this paper, we present an exact static, spherically symmetric vacuum solution within this theory. The solution is spatially Schwarzschild-de Sitter, with the value of the cosmological constant determined by the graviton mass and the interaction parameters of the theory. Notably, for specific parameter ranges, the solution represents a traversable Lorentzian wormhole that violates the weak energy condition near its throat. Furthermore, we have investigated the evolution of scalar and electromagnetic fields in this wormhole spacetime and observed the presence of arbitrarily long-lived quasi-resonant modes in the quasinormal spectrum.
