Wormhole solutions in [formula omitted] gravity

Casimir wormhole solutions in [formula omitted] gravity

Morris and Thorne [Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395] developed wormhole solutions in General Relativity which requires the dissatisfaction of null energy condition at the throat. The current scenario of the universe has been explained by using the background of modified gravity and it has inspired the researchers to explore the wormhole solutions in modified versions of gravity. In this paper, the [Formula: see text] theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. [Phys. Rev. D 84 (2011) 024020] is taken to investigate traversable wormhole solutions. These solutions have been developed in three cases. In each case, the shape function is derived, its characteristics are studied and the embedding surface is constructed. Further, in each case, the wormhole solutions are constructed and energy conditions are tested to know about the matter sustaining the wormhole geometries.

Wormholes can be described as geometrical structures in space and time that can serve as connection between distant regions of the universe. Mathematically, general wormholes can be defined both on stationary as well as on dynamic line elements. However, general relativistic and evolving Lorentzian wormholes are less studied than their static wormhole counterpart. Accordingly, in this work we shall focus on some evolving wormhole geometries. Starting from a general class of spherically symmetric line element supporting wormhole geometries, we shall use the Einstein's field equations to develop viable astatic wormhole solutions. We will also discuss various evolving wormhole solutions together with their physical significance, properties and throat energy conditions. We claim that the method discussed in this work shall be applicable for developing wormhole solutions corresponding to any general Lorentzian wormhole metric.

This paper investigates the wormhole solutions in Rastall theory of gravity using the Karmarkar conditions. For this purpose, we choose a shape function (SF) that connects two asymptotically flat regions. We also discuss the wormhole configuration by plotting three-dimensional (3D) analysis of the embedding diagram in Euclidean space. Furthermore, we also observe the detailed graphical representation of energy conditions using the considered SF. The violation of energy conditions, especially null energy conditions (NEC), indicates the existence of exotic matter and wormholes. Hence, it can be concluded that our calculated results in the background of Rastall theory of gravity are viable and stable. The exciting feature of this work is the 3D analysis to discuss the viability of wormhole geometry

A fundamental ingredient in wormhole physics is the presence of exotic matter, which involves the violation of the null energy condition. Although a plethora of wormhole solutions have been explored in the literature, it is useful to find geometries that minimize the usage of exotic matter. In this work, we find exact wormhole solutions in Brans–Dicke theory where the normal matter threading the wormhole satisfies the null energy condition throughout the geometry. Thus, the latter implies that it is the effective stress–energy tensor containing the scalar field, that plays the role of exotic matter, that is responsible for sustaining the wormhole geometry. More specifically, we consider a zero redshift function and a particular choice for the scalar field and determine the remaining quantities, namely, the stress–energy tensor components and the shape function. The solution found is not asymptotically flat, so that this interior wormhole spacetime needs to be matched to an exterior vacuum solution.

The objective of this paper is to study static spherically symmetric noncommutative wormhole solutions in the framework of $f(T)$ gravity. We construct $f(T)$ field equations in covariant and effective energy-momentum tensor forms to make a correspondence with general relativity. It is observed that the violation of energy conditions to support the nonstandard wormhole is due to the effective energy-momentum tensor. We explore the noncommutative wormhole solutions for two cases: (i) assume a viable power-law $f(T)$ model to construct the shape function and (ii) a particular shape function is taken to construct the $f(T)$ model. In the first case, only exotic matter forms a wormhole structure in teleparallel gravity, whereas for $f(T)$ gravity, normal matter threads these structures except for a particular range of $r$. For the constructed $f(T)$ model, there does not exist a physically acceptable wormhole solution similar to the teleparallel case.

In this paper, Morris Thorne wormholes are considered in the context of [Formula: see text] gravity. A shape function is defined as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is constant. The equation of state is considered as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] function is derived. The wormhole solutions are obtained and energy conditions are examined. Further, the [Formula: see text] model is found to be consistent with local gravity tests and stability of cosmological perturbations and late-time de Sitter point. Cosmological evolution is also explored using Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) metric in [Formula: see text] gravity.

Static and spherically symmetric wormhole solutions can be reconstructed in the framework of curvature based Extended Theories of Gravity. In particular, extensions of the General Relativity, in metric and curvature formalism give rise to modified gravitational potentials, constituted by the classical Newtonian potential and Yukawa-like corrections, whose parameters can be, in turn, gauged by the observations. Such an approach allows to reconstruct the spacetime out of the wormhole throat considering the asymptotic flatness as a physical property for the related gravitational field. Such an argument can be applied for a large class of curvature theories characterising the wormholes through the parameters of the potentials. According to this procedure, possible wormhole solutions could be observationally constrained. On the other hand, stable and traversable wormholes could be a direct probe for this class of Extended Theories of Gravity.

This paper discusses wormholes supported by general equation-of-state , resulting in a significant combination of the linear equation-of-state and some other models. Wormhole with a quadratic equation-of-state is studied as a particular example. It is shown that the violation of null energy condition is restricted to some regions in the vicinity of the throat. The combination of barotropic and polytropic equation-of-state has been studied. We consider fluid near the wormhole throat in an exotic regime which at some r=r_{1}, the exotic regime is connected to a distribution of asymptotically dark energy regime with -1<omega <-1/3. We have presented wormhole solutions with small amount of exotic matter. We have shown that using different forms of equation-of-state has a considerable effect on the minimizing violation of the null energy condition. The effect of many parameters such as redshift as detected by a distant observer and energy density at the throat on the r_1 is investigated. The solutions are asymptotically flat and compatible with presently available observational data at the large cosmic scale.

In general relativity, traversable wormholes are possible provided they do not represent shortcuts in the spacetime. Einstein equations, together with the achronal averaged null energy condition, demand to take longer for an observer to go through the wormhole than through the ambient space. This forbids wormholes connecting two distant regions in the space. The situation is different when higher-curvature corrections are considered. Here, we construct a traversable wormhole solution connecting two asymptotically flat regions, otherwise disconnected. This geometry is an electro-vacuum solution to Lovelock theory of gravity coupled to an Abelian gauge field. The electric flux suffices to support the wormhole throat and to stabilize the solution. In fact, we show that, in contrast to other wormhole solutions previously found in this theory, the one constructed here turns out to be stable under scalar perturbations. We also consider wormholes in AdS. We present a protection argument showing that, while stable traversable wormholes connecting two asymptotically locally AdS$_5$ spaces do exist in the higher-curvature theory, the region of the parameter space where such solutions are admitted lies outside the causality bounds coming from AdS/CFT.

The wormhole solution in dRGT massive gravity is examined in this paper in the background of non-commutative geometry. In order to derive the wormhole model, along with the zero tidal force, we assume that the matter distribution is given by the Gaussian and Lorentzian distributions. The shape function in both models involves the massive gravity parameters m2c1 and m2c2. But the spacetime loses its asymptotic flatness due to the action of the massive gravity parameter. It is noticed that the asymptotic flatness is affected by the repulsive effect induced in the massive gravitons that push the spacetime geometry very strongly. We observed that each model violates the null energy criteria, indicating the presence of exotic matter which is necessary to sustain the wormholes. The exotic matter is measured using the volume integral quantifier. Moreover, it is discovered that the model is stable under the hydrostatic equilibrium condition by utilizing the TOV equation. Finally, our research encompassed an exploration of the repulsive influence exerted by gravity. Our findings demonstrated that the presence of repulsive gravity results in a negative deflection angle for photons following null geodesics. Remarkably, we consistently observed negative values for the deflection angle across all values of r0 in the two scenarios examined. This consistent negativity unequivocally signifies the manifestation of the repulsive gravity effect.

Wormhole solutions in General Relativity (GR) require exotic matter sources that violate the null energy condition (NEC), and it is well-known that higher-order modifications of GR and some alternative matter sources can support wormholes. In this study, we explore the possibility of formulating traversable wormholes in f (R) modified gravity, which is perhaps the most widely discussed modification of GR, with two approaches. First, to investigate the effects of geometrical constraints on the global characteristics, we gauge the rr–component of the metric tensor and employ Padè approximation to check whether a well–constrained shape function can be formulated in this manner. We then derive the field equations with a background of string cloud and numerically analyse the energy conditions, stability, and amount of exotic matter in this space-time. Next, as an alternative source in a simple f (R) gravity model, we use the background cloud of strings to estimate the wormhole shape function and analyse the relevant properties of the space-time. These results are then compared with those of wormholes threaded by normal matter in the simple f (R) gravity model considered. The results demonstrate that string cloud is a viable source for wormholes with NEC violations; however, the wormhole space-times in the simple f (R) gravity model considered in this study are unstable.

It has been recently claimed that dark matter could be in the form of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in order to explain the dynamics at large distances from the galactic center [Boehmer, Harko, JCAP {\bf 0706}, 025 (2007)]. In this paper we explore the possibility of wormhole formation in galactic halos due to the dark matter BEC. In particular we have found a new wormhole solution supported by BEC dark matter using the expressions for the density profile of the BEC and rotation velocity along with the Einstein field equations to calculate the wormhole red shift function as well as the shape function. To this end, we show that for a specific choose of the central density of the condensates our wormhole solution satisfies the flare our condition. Furthermore we check the null, weak, and strong condition at the wormhole throat with a radius $r_0$, and shown that in general the energy condition are violated by some arbitrary quantity at the wormhole throat. Using the volume integral quantifier, and choosing reasonable values of parameters we have calculate the amount of BEC exotic matter near the wormhole throat, such that the wormhole extends form $r_0$ to a a cut off radius situated at $`a'$. Moreover we have introduced a Kerr-like metric for a rotating BEC wormhole to study the effect of BEC dark matter on the Lense-Thirring precession frequencies. Namely, we have shown that the obtained precession frequencies lie within a range of typical quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs).

Viable wormhole solutions through Noether symmetry in [formula omitted] gravity

In this study, we search for a new class of wormhole solutions in the framework of Brans–Dicke (BD) theory in the presence of anisotropic matter distribution. Considering a linear equation of state (EoS) between radial pressure and energy density profile we find exact static spherically symmetric solutions to the BD field equations which represent wormhole configurations. The solutions we obtain include both cases with zero and nonzero redshift functions, for which, the conditions on wormhole geometry together with the weak (WEC) and null (NEC) energy conditions put constraints on model parameters such as, the BD coupling and EoS parameters. These constraints also depend on other model parameters such as, the value of BD scalar field and energy density at the wormhole throat. The regularity of the obtained solutions is verified by calculating the Kretschmann scalar in order to ensure that curvature singularities are absent in the wormhole spacetime. We then find that BD wormholes in the presence of anisotropic matter can exist without violating NEC and WEC, either at the throat or across the entire spacetime.
