AbstractThe present work looks for the existence of completely new wormhole geometries in the bulge of the Milky Way galaxy (MWG) situated on the dark matter (DM) density profile followed from MacMillan (MNRAS 76:465, 2017) and Boshkayev and Malafarina (MNRAS 484:3325, 2019) concerned with Global Monopole Charge. The obtained shape function is positively increasing against the radial coordinate and it increases faster with the increasing values of Global Monopole Charge. Moreover, the reported shape function satisfies all the essential criterions and hence it constructs wormhole geometry in the bulge of the MWG. Further, the DM candidate around bulge is suitable to harbor wormhole by violating the null energy condition(NEC) corresponding to three different redshift functions. The striking point of our solution is that for zero Global Monopole Charge the wormholes are asymptotically flat corresponding to the first two choices of redshift functions while for positive values of Global Monopole Charge wormhole becomes non asymptotically flat and Global Monopole Charge also has the crucial effect on the violation of NEC. In our solutions, one can note that the total amount of averaged NEC violating matter in the wormhole spacetime depends on the Global Monopole Charge $$\eta $$ η . Furthermore, the respective wormhole solutions are in equilibrium positions.

Traversable Wormholes

Traversable wormholes, tunnel-like structures introduced by Morris and Thorne [Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395], have a significant role in connection of two different spacetimes or two different parts of the same spacetime. The characteristics of these wormholes depend upon the redshift and shape functions which are defined in terms of radial coordinate. In literature, several shape functions are defined and wormholes are studied in [Formula: see text] gravity with respect to these shape functions [F. S. N. Lobo and M. A. Oliveira, Phys. Rev. D 80 (2009) 104012; H. Saiedi and B. N. Esfahani, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 26 (2011) 1211; S. Bahamonde, M. Jamil, P. Pavlovic and M. Sossich, Phys. Rev. D 94 (2016) 044041]. In this paper, two shape functions (i) [Formula: see text] and (ii) [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], are considered. The first shape function is newly defined, however, the second one is collected from the literature [M. Cataldo, L. Liempi and P. Rodríguez, Eur. Phys. J. C 77 (2017) 748]. The wormholes are investigated for each type of shape function in [Formula: see text] gravity with [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are real constants. Varying the parameter [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] model is studied in five subcases for each type of shape function. In each case, the energy density, radial and tangential pressures, energy conditions that include null energy condition, weak energy condition, strong energy condition and dominated energy condition and anisotropic parameter are computed. The energy density is found to be positive and all energy conditions are obtained to be violated which support the existence of wormholes. Also, the equation-of-state parameter is obtained to possess values less than [Formula: see text], that shows the presence of the phantom fluid and leads toward the expansion of the universe.

Abstract 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 FRW metric. By choosing some static f(R) gravity models, we verify the standard energy conditions for the asymptotically spherical, flat and hyperbolic wormhole solutions. Unlike the Einstein gravity, we find that in the context of f(R) modified gravity, the asymptotically spherical, flat and hyperbolic wormhole solutions can respect the null energy condition (NEC) at the wormhole throat and near that. We find that in some static f(R) models, asymptotically flat and hyperbolic wormholes respect the weak energy condition (WEC) through the whole space.

In this work, we investigate wormhole configurations described by a constant redshift function in Einstein-Cubic gravity ( ECG ). We derive analytical wormhole geometries by assuming a particular equation of state ( EoS ) and investigate the possibility that these solutions satisfy the standard energy conditions. We introduce exact asymptotically flat and anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes that admit traversable wormholes. These solutions are obtained by imposing suitable values for the parameters of the theory so that the resulted geometries satisfy the weak energy condition ( WEC ) in the vicinity of the throat, due to the presence of higher-order curvature terms. Moreover, we find that AdS solutions satisfy the WEC throughout the spacetime. A description of the geodesic motion of time-like and null particles is presented for the obtained wormhole solutions. Also, using gravitational lensing effects, observational features of the wormhole structure are discussed.

Traversable Wormholes

It is well-known that traversable wormholes are valid solutions of the Einstein field equations, but these structures can only be maintained by violating the null energy condition. In this paper, we have obtained such wormhole solutions in an isothermal galactic halo, as well as in a void. We have shown that the null energy condition is violated, with the help of a suitable redshift function obtained from flat galactic rotation curves.

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 shown that whenever the energy density describes a classical wormhole, the resulting solution is incompatible with quantum-field theory. If the energy density originates from noncommutative geometry, then zero tidal forces are allowed. Also attributable to the noncommutative geometry is the violation of the null energy condition. The wormhole geometry satisfies the usual requirements, including asymptotic flatness.

In this paper, we examine the embedded wormhole solutions in the modified [Formula: see text] theory of gravity, where [Formula: see text] denotes the trace of the energy–momentum tensor and [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar. We derive the embedded class-1 solutions by considering spherically symmetric static spacetime. The shape function is calculated in the framework of embedded class-1 spacetime. It is necessary to mention here that the calculated shape function can be used in other modified theories of gravity. We explore the feasible solutions for the specific model of [Formula: see text] theory of gravity. Energy conditions have been explored using the approach mentioned above. Conclusively, we find that obtained wormhole solutions are acceptable, as the null energy condition is violated in the specific region.

There are some gravitational theories in which the ordinary energy–momentum conservation law is not valid in the curved space–time. Rastall gravity is one of the known theories in this regard, which includes a non-minimal coupling between geometry and matter fields. Equipped with the basis of such theory, we study the properties of traversable wormholes with flat asymptotes. We investigate the possibility of exact solutions by a source with the baryonic matter state parameter. Our survey indicates that Rastall theory has considerable effects on the wormhole characteristics. In addition, we study various case studies and show that the weak energy condition may be met for some solutions. We also give a discussion regarding traversibility of such wormhole geometry with phantom sources.

The Subject

We present an analysis of the classic wormhole geometries based on conformal Weyl gravity, rather than standard general relativity. The main characteristics of the resulting traversable wormholes remains the same as in the seminal study by Morris and Thorne, namely, that effective super-luminal motion is a viable consequence of the metric. Improving on previous work on the subject, we show that for particular choices of the shape and redshift functions the wormhole metric in the context of conformal gravity does not violate the main energy conditions at or near the wormhole throat. Some exotic matter might still be needed at the junction between our solutions and flat spacetime, but we demonstrate that the averaged null energy condition (as evaluated along radial null geodesics) is satisfied for a particular set of wormhole geometries. Therefore, if fourth-order conformal Weyl gravity is a correct extension of general relativity, traversable wormholes might become a realistic solution for interstellar travel.

AbstractWe study Morris–Thorne static traversable wormhole solutions in different modified theories of gravity. We focus our study on the quadratic gravity $$f({\mathscr {R}}) = {\mathscr {R}}+a{\mathscr {R}}^2$$ f ( R ) = R + a R 2 , power-law $$f({\mathscr {R}}) = f_0{\mathscr {R}}^n$$ f ( R ) = f 0 R n , log-corrected $$f({\mathscr {R}})={\mathscr {R}}+\alpha {\mathscr {R}}^2+\beta {\mathscr {R}}^2\ln \beta {\mathscr {R}}$$ f ( R ) = R + α R 2 + β R 2 ln β R theories, and finally on the exponential hybrid metric-Palatini gravity $$f(\mathscr {\hat{R}})=\zeta \bigg (1+e^{-\frac{\hat{{\mathscr {R}}}}{\varPhi }}\bigg )$$ f ( R ^ ) = ζ ( 1 + e - R ^ Φ ) . Wormhole fluid near the throat is adopted to be anisotropic, and redshift factor to have a constant value. We solve numerically the Einstein field equations and we derive the suitable shape function for each MOG of our consideration by applying the equation of state $$p_t=\omega \rho $$ p t = ω ρ . Furthermore, we investigate the null energy condition, the weak energy condition, and the strong energy condition with the suitable shape function b(r). The stability of Morris–Thorne traversable wormholes in different modified gravity theories is also analyzed in our paper with a modified Tolman–Oppenheimer–Voklov equation. Besides, we have derived general formulas for the extra force that is present in MTOV due to the non-conserved stress-energy tensor.

AbstractWe construct traversable wormholes with anti-de Sitter asymptotics supported by a phantom field. These wormholes are massless and symmetric with respect to reflection of the radial coordinate $$\eta \rightarrow - \eta $$ η → - η . Their circumferential radius decreases monotonically from radial infinity to their single throat. Analogous to their asymptotically flat counterparts, these anti-de Sitter wormholes possess an unstable radial mode.
