For a generic f(R) which admits a polynomial expansion, we find the near-throat wormhole solution. Necessary conditions for the existence of wormholes in such f(R) theories are derived for both zero and nonzero matter sources. For vanishing external sources, we show that the energy conditions are violated. A particular choice of energy–momentum reveals that the wormhole geometry satisfies the weak energy condition (WEC). For a range of parameters, even the strong energy condition (SEC) is shown to be satisfied.

AbstractIt is shown that the Lorentz structure of a compact prespace- time M can be so chosen such that M can not satisfy the strong energy condition. Thus, combining both the causal and the strong energy conditions, a stronger case against the compact space-times as proper arenas of physics can be made.

We use (4+1) split to derive the 4D induced energy density ρ and pressure p of the 5D Ricci-flat cosmological solutions which are characterized by having a bounce instead of a bang. The solutions contain two arbitrary functions of time t and, therefore, are mathematically rich in giving various cosmological models. By using four known energy conditions (null, weak, strong, and dominant) to pick out and study physically meaningful solutions, we find that the 4D part of the 5D solutions asymptotically approaches to the standard 4D FRW models and the expansion of the universe is decelerating for normal induced matter for which all the four energy conditions are satisfied. We also find that quintessence might be normal or abnormal, depending on the parameter w of the equation of state. If -1 ≤ w < -1/3, the expansion of the universe is accelerating and the quintessence is abnormal because the strong energy condition is violated while other three are satisfied. For phantom, all the four energy conditions are violated. Before the bounce, all the four energy conditions are violated, implying that the cosmic matter before the bounce could be explained as a phantom that has a large negative pressure and makes the universe bouncing. In the early times after the bounce, the dominant energy condition is violated, while the other three are satisfied, and so the cosmic matter could be explained as a super-luminal acoustic matter.

In this paper, the RS-II model of brane gravity is considered for the phantom universe using a nonlinear equation of state. Phantom fluid is known to violate the weak energy condition. It is found that this characteristic of phantom energy is affected drastically by the negative brane tension λ of the RS-II model. It is interesting to see that up to a certain value of energy density ρ satisfying ρ/λ < 1, the weak energy condition is violated and the universe superaccelerates. But, as ρ increases more, only the strong energy condition is violated and the universe accelerates. When 1 < ρ/λ < 2, even the strong energy condition is not violated and the universe decelerates. Expansion of the universe stops when ρ = 2 λ. This is contrary to earlier results of the phantom universe exhibiting acceleration only.

In this letter we consider some constraints on brane-world cosmologies. In the first part we analyze different behaviors for the expansion of our universe by imposing constraints on the speed of sound. In the second part, we study the nature of matter on the brane world by means of the well-known energy conditions. We find that the strong energy condition must be completely violated at late stages of the universe.

Considering an energy density of the form [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is an arbitrary positive constant with dimension of energy density and [Formula: see text]), a shape function is obtained by using field equations of braneworld gravity theory in this paper. Under isotropic scenario wormhole solutions are obtained considering six different redshift functions along with the obtained new shape function. For anisotropic case, wormhole solutions are obtained under the consideration of five different shape functions along with the redshift function [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is an arbitrary constant. In each case all energy conditions are examined and it is found that for some cases all energy conditions are satisfied in the vicinity of the wormhole throat and for the rest of the cases all energy conditions are satisfied except strong energy condition.

In this paper, we study the traversable wormhole solutions for a logarithmic corrected [Formula: see text] model by considering two different statements of shape [Formula: see text] and redshift [Formula: see text] functions. We calculate the parameters of the model including energy density [Formula: see text], tangential pressure [Formula: see text] and radial pressure [Formula: see text] for the corresponding forms of the functions. Then, we investigate different energy conditions such as null energy condition, weak energy condition, dominant energy condition and strong energy condition for our considered cases. Finally, we explain the satisfactory conditions of energy of the models by related plots.

The energy conditions of mimetic-[Formula: see text] gravity theory is analyzed. We will obtain the parameter space of the theory in some special forms of [Formula: see text] in which the self-acceleration is allowed. In this sense, the parameter space is obtained in a way that it violates the strong energy condition while satisfying the weak, null and dominant energy conditions. We will also consider the condition that the Dolgov–Kawasaki instability is avoided. This condition will be further imposed in the parameter space of the theory. We will show that the parameter space of the mimetic-[Formula: see text] gravity is larger than [Formula: see text] gravity theory.

Recently literature is found to be enriched with studies related to anisotropic behaviors of different compact stars in the background of [Formula: see text] gravity in different energy conditions. Quintessence field, as local impacts of cosmic acceleration upon the compact stars, is also very interesting in recent studies. In this paper, the quintessential field effects on the compact stars (mainly on the neutron stars with an wide range of mass distributions), repulsive gravitational effects inside the compact stars due to dark matter distribution in them, charge distribution inside them in strong energy condition, etc. are studied. All required equations of motion using anisotropic property and concept of Massachusetts Institute of Technology bag model are acquired. Black holes surrounded by quintessential matters which satisfy the additive and linearity conditions, with the form of energy tensors were proposed and the corresponding metric was derived by Kiselev.1 The metric, described by Krori and Barua2 with Reissner–Nordström metric3 are compared to find out the different numerical values of unknown parameters. The numerical values are derived and some important parameters like anisotropic stress, adiabatic constant, surface redshift, electric intensity, compactness factor, stability etc. are analyzed deeply to get a clear idea for further study on these types of stars and to understand their nature.

A link between the possibility of extending a geodesically incomplete kinked spacetime to a spacetime which is geodesically complete and the energy conditions is discussed for the case of a cylindrically-symmetric spacetime kink. It is concluded that neither the strong nor the weak energy condition can be satisfied in the four-dimensional example, though the latter condition may survive on the transversal sections of such a spacetime. It is also shown that the matter which propagates quantum-mechanically in a kinked spacetime can always be trapped by closed timelike curves, but signaling connections between that matter and any possible observer can only be made of totally incoherent radiation, so preventing observation of causality violation.

It is shown that if the time-like eigenvector of the Ricci tensor is hypersurface orthogonal so that the space–time allows a foliation into space sections, then the space average of each of the scalars that appears in the Raychaudhuri equation vanishes provided that the strong energy condition holds good. This result is presented in the form of a singularity theorem.
