Thin-Shell Wormholes from Regular Charged Black Holes

We investigate a new thin-shell wormhole constructed by surgically grafting two regular charged black holes arising from the action using nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity. The stress-energy components within the shell violate the null and weak energy conditions but obey the strong energy condition. Several other aspects of this thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed. The most important finding is that the presence of a charge is essential for producing a thin-shell wormhole that is stable to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations about a static equilibrium solution. The precise conditions depend on various properties of the black hole.     

Thin-Shell Wormholes from Black Holes with Dilaton and Monopole Fields

We provide a new type of thin-shell wormhole from the black holes with dilaton and monopole fields. The dilaton and monopole that built the black holes may supply fuel to construct the wormholes. Several characteristics of this thin-shell wormhole have been discussed. Finally, we discuss the stability of the thin-shell wormholes with a “phantom-like” equation of state for the exotic matter at the throat.     

Stability of Einstein-power-Maxwell (2+1)-dimensional wormholes

This paper is devoted to the study of stable and unstable geometrical structures of charged thin-shell wormholes constructed from Einstein-power-Maxwell black holes by using Visser cut and paste approach. We use Israel thin-shell formalism to evaluate the stress-energy tensor components of matter distribution located at the wormhole throat. The stability of thin-shell is investigated by using equations of state (phantom-like and generalized Chaplygin gas model) for exotic matter and radial perturbation about equilibrium throat radius. We conclude that stable regions increase by increasing the charge parameter.     

Thin-shell wormholes from charged black holes in generalized dilaton-axion gravity

This paper discusses a new type of thin-shell wormhole constructed by applying the cut-and-paste technique to two copies of a charged black hole in generalized dilaton-axion gravity, which was inspired by low-energy string theory. After analyzing various aspects of this thin-shell wormhole, we discuss its stability to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations.     

A New Class of Stable (2+1) Dimensional Thin Shell Wormhole

Few years ago, Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (BTZ) (in Phys. Rev. Lett. 69:1849 (1992)) has discovered an explicit vacuum solution of (2+1)-dimensional gravity with negative cosmological constant. It has been argued that the existence of such physical systems with an event horizon and thermodynamic properties similar to (3+1) dimensional black holes. These vacuum solutions of (2+1)-dimensional gravity are asymptotically anti-de Sitter and are known as BTZ black holes. We provide a new type of thin-shell stable wormhole from the BTZ black holes. This is the first example of stable thin shell wormhole in (2+1)-dimension. Several characteristics of this thin-shell wormhole have been discussed.     

A new stability criterion for general cylindrical thin-shell wormholes

The paper deals with a detailed study of the stability criteria for general static cylindrical thin-shell wormhole.The stability analysis is done under perturbations preserving the symmetry for two definitions of the throat of the wormhole separately. Finally, the stability conditions are discussed both geometrically and physically.     

Reissner–Nordström thin-shell wormholes with generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas

Following Visser’s approach (Visser in Phys. Rev. D 39:3182, 1989; Nucl. Phys. B 328:203, 1989; Lorentzian wormholes. AIP Press, New York, 1996) of cut and paste, we construct Reissner–Nordström thin-shell wormholes by taking the generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas for the exotic matter located at the wormhole throat. The Darmois–Israel conditions are used to determine the dynamical quantities of the system. The viability of the thin-shell wormholes is explored with respect to radial perturbations preserving the spherical symmetry. We find stable as well as unstable Reissner–Nordström thin-shell wormhole solutions depending upon the model parameters. Finally, we compare our results with both generalized and modified Chaplygin gases.     

Nonsymmetric dynamical thin-shell wormhole in Robinson–Trautman class

The thin-shell wormhole created using the Darmois–Israel formalism applied to Robinson–Trautman family of spacetimes is presented. The stress energy tensor created on the throat is interpreted in terms of two dust streams and it is shown that asymptotically this wormhole settles to the Schwarzschild wormhole with a throat located at the position of the horizon. This behavior shows a nonlinear stability (within the Robinson–Trautman class) of this spherically symmetric wormhole. The gravitational radiation emitted by the Robinson–Trautman wormhole during the transition to spherical symmetry is indistinguishable from that of the corresponding black hole Robinson–Trautman spacetime. Subsequently, we show that the higher-dimensional generalization of Robinson–Trautman geometry offers a possibility of constructing wormholes without the need to violate the energy conditions for matter induced on the throat.     

Stability of Charged Thin-Shell Wormholes in (2+1) Dimensions

In this paper we construct charged thin-shell wormholes in (2+1)-dimensions applying the cut-and-paste technique implemented by Visser, from a BTZ black hole which was discovered by Bañados, Teitelboim and Zanelli (Phys. Rev. Lett. 69:1849, 1992), and the surface stress are determined using the Darmois-Israel formalism at the wormhole throat. We analyzed the stability of the shell considering phantom-energy or generalised Chaplygin gas equation of state for the exotic matter at the throat. We also discussed the linearized stability of charged thin-shell wormholes around the static solution.     

Wormhole solution in Bergmann-Wagoner scalar-tensor gravitational theory

We give a Euclidean wormhole solution in the vacuum Bergmann-Wagoner scalar-tensor gravitational theory. We show that this wormhole, unlike others, has complex charge and is a baby universe (half a wormhole).     

Traversible wormholes in (2 + 1) dimensions

We investigate traversible wormhole solutions to the Einstein field equations in (2 + 1) dimensions. The constraints on the field equations to obtain a wormhole solution are presented and further constraints for traversibility of the wormhole are also given. We show that there is no analog of the (3 + 1)-dimensional Schwarzschild wormhole in (2 + 1) dimensions. For general wormholes, the radial tension and lateral pressure at the throat of the wormhole must be zero, and the energy density must be negative. Two specific wormhole solutions are presented. We perform a stability analysis on the solutions.     

Thin-shell wormhole solutions in Einstein-Hoffmann-Born-Infeld theory

We adopt the Hoffmann-Born-Infeld?s (HBI) double Lagrangian approach in general relativity to find black holes and investigate the possibility of viable thin-shell wormholes. By virtue of the non-linear electromagnetic parameter, the matching hypersurfaces of the two regions with two Lagrangians provide a natural, lower-bound radius for the thin-shell wormholes which provides the main motivation to the present study. In particular, the stability of thin-shell wormholes supported by normal matter in higher-dimensional Einstein-HBI-Gauss-Bonnet (EHBIGB) gravity is highlighted.     

Intra-Galactic Thin Shell Wormhole and Its Stability

In this paper, we construct an intra-galactic thin shell wormhole joining two copies of identical galactic space times described by the Mannheim–Kazanas–de Sitter solution in conformal gravity and study its stability under spherical perturbations. We assume the thin shell material as a Chaplygin gas and discuss in detail the values of the relevant parameters under which the wormhole is stable. We study the stability following the method by Eiroa and we also qualitatively analyze the dynamics through the method of Weierstrass. We find that the wormhole is generally unstable but there is a small interval in radius for which the wormhole is stable.     

Boosted cylindrical magnetized Kaluza–Klein wormhole

In this work, we consider a vacuum solution of Kaluza–Klein theory with cylindrical symmetry. We investigate the physical properties of the solution as viewed in four dimensional spacetime, which turns out to be a stationary, cylindrical wormhole supported by a scalar field and a magnetic field oriented along the wormhole. We then apply a boost to the five dimensional solution along the extra dimension, and perform the Kaluza–Klein reduction. As a result, we show that the new solution is still a wormhole with a radial electric field and a magnetic field stretched along the wormhole throat.     

Self-force on a static charge in the long throat of a wormhle

We consider the self-force on a static charge in the long throat of a wormhole. The example of the self-force calculation in the specific profile of the wormhole throat are given. We demonstrate that the self-force is repulsive in the considered case.     

Higgs quartic coupling and neutrino sector evolution in 2UED models

In this work, we have studied the accretion of dark energies onto a Morris–Thorne wormhole. Previously, in ref. (González-Díaz, arXiv:hep-th/0607137), it was shown that for quintessence like dark energy, the mass of the wormhole decreases, and for phantom like dark energy, the mass of the wormhole increases. We have assumed two types of dark energy: the variable modified Chaplygin gas and the generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas. We have found the expression of the wormhole mass in both cases. We have found the mass of the wormhole at late universe and this is finite. For our choices of the parameters and the function $B(a)$ , these models generate only quintessence dark energy (not phantom) and so the wormhole mass decreases during the evolution of the universe. Next we have assumed the five kinds of parametrizations of well-known dark-energy models. These models generate both quintessence and phantom scenarios i.e., phantom crossing models. So if these dark energies accrete onto the wormhole, then for the quintessence stage, the wormhole mass decreases up to a certain value (a finite value) and then again increases to an infinite value for the phantom stage during whole evolution of the universe. That means that if the five kinds of DE accrete onto a wormhole, the mass of the wormhole decreases up to a certain finite value and then increases in the late stage of the evolution of the universe. We have also shown these results graphically.     

Self-consistency of the quantum billiard problem in wormhole spacetimes

A wormhole can be made to function as a time machine. In the context of the quantum billiard problem in the presence of a wormhole we examine whether this is compatible with the self-consistency of physics. We derive a self-consistency condition in which the classical limit corresponds to known results for the (classical) billiard problem in a wormhole space-time and that suggests that some fine-tuning of initial conditions might be necessary.     

Wormhole supported by dark energy admitting conformal motion

In this article, we study the possibility of sustaining static and spherically symmetric traversable wormhole geometries admitting conformal motion in Einstein gravity, which presents a more systematic approach to search a relation between matter and geometry. In wormhole physics, the presence of exotic matter is a fundamental ingredient and we show that this exotic source can be dark energy type which support the existence of wormhole spacetimes. In this work we model a wormhole supported by dark energy which admits conformal motion. We also discuss the possibility of the detection of wormholes in the outer regions of galactic halos by means of gravitational lensing. Studies of the total gravitational energy for the exotic matter inside a static wormhole configuration are also performed.
