Shadows of Lorentzian traversable wormholes [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and quantum gravity, 2021
The prospect of identifying wormholes by investigating the shadows of wormholes constitute a foremost source of insight into the evolution of compact objects and it is one of the essential problems in contemporary astrophysics.

Diving into traversable wormholes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study various aspects of wormholes that are made traversable by an interaction beween the two asymptotic boundaries. We concentrate on the case of nearly‐ AdS2 gravity and discuss a very simple mechanical picture for the gravitational dynamics.

Novel black-bounce spacetimes: Wormholes, regularity, energy conditions, and causal structure

open access: yes, 2021
We develop a number of novel "black-bounce" spacetimes. These are specific regular black holes where the "area radius" always remains non-zero, thereby leading to a "throat" that is either timelike (corresponding to a traversable wormhole), spacelike ...

Quasinormal modes of massive scalar fields in four-dimensional wormholes: Anomalous decay rate [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2022
In this work we consider a Generalized Bronnikov-Ellis wormhole and the tideless Morris-Thorne wormhole and we study the propagation of massive scalar fields.

A violation of global symmetries from replica wormholes and the fate of black hole remnants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We show that the presence of replica wormholes in the Euclidean path integral of gravity leads to a non-perturbative violation of charge conservation for any global symmetry present in the low-energy description of quantum gravity. Explicitly, we compute

Fractal nature of acid-etched wormholes and the influence of acid type on wormholes

open access: yesPetroleum Exploration and Development, 2012
Two-scale (Darcy scale and pore scale) continuum wormholing models are built to study the fractal nature of the acid-etched wormholes in acidizing carbonate reservoirs and the influence of acid type on the conditions for wormholes to form.

Stability of thin-shell wormholes with spherical symmetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In this article, the stability of a general class of spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes is studied under perturbations preserving the symmetry. For this purpose, the equation of state at the throat is linearized around the static solutions.

Collapsing Wormholes Sustained by Dustlike Matter

open access: yesUniverse, 2020
It is well known that static wormhole configurations in general relativity (GR) are possible only if matter threading the wormhole throat is “exotic”—i.e., violates a number of energy conditions.

On Possible Origin of an Artificial Wormhole

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
We assume the picture in which a vacuum is filled with virtual wormholes. The presence of external fields changes the distribution of virtual wormholes and, in principle, allows for the creation of a coherent structure that can work as an actual wormhole

Entropy from the foam II [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by two different types of wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination: one type is a collection of $N_{w}$ Schwarzschild wormholes, while the other one is made by Schwarzschild-Anti-de ...
