We have proposed a novel shape function on which the metric that models traversable wormholes is dependent. Using this shape function, the energy conditions, equation-of-state and anisotropy parameter are analyzed in [Formula: see text] gravity, [Formula: see text] gravity and general relativity. Furthermore, the consequences obtained with respect to these theories are compared. In addition, the existence of wormhole geometries is investigated.

In this work, the solutions of traversable wormholes are investigated inside modified [Formula: see text] gravity under non-commutative geometry since matter possesses Lorentzian density distribution of a particle-like gravitation source. To find the exact wormhole solutions, two different shape functions [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], are considered. The first shape function was proposed by Mishra and Sharma [A new shape function for wormholes in [Formula: see text] gravity and General Relativity, preprint (2020), arXiv:2003.00298v1 [physics.gen-ph]], however the second is newly defined in this paper. The behaviors of both shape functions are analyzed with the throat radius [Formula: see text]. The equation-of-state (EoS) parameter energy conditions, and anisotropy parameter are discussed with graphical point of view.

The present work is focused on the study of traversable wormholes, proposed by Morris and Thorne [Wormholes in spacetime and their use for interstellar travel: A tool for teaching general relativity, Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395], using the background of modified gravity. It is performed by using the models: I. [Formula: see text], II. [Formula: see text] and III. [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constants. The Model I belongs to the theory of [Formula: see text] gravity, Model II belongs to the theory of [Formula: see text] gravity and Model III is a combination of Models I and II. These functions have been taken into account for the exploration of wormhole solutions. The shape function, a wormhole metric function, is newly defined which satisfies the flare out condition. Further, the stability condition and energy conditions, namely null, weak and dominant energy conditions, have been examined with respect to each model.

Morris and Thorne1 proposed traversable wormholes, hypothetical connecting tools, using the concept of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. In this paper, the modification of general relativity (in particular [Formula: see text] theory of gravity defined by Harko et al.2) is considered, to study the traversable wormhole solutions. The function [Formula: see text] is considered as [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are controlling parameters. The shape and redshift functions appearing in the metric of wormhole structure have significant contribution in the development of wormhole solutions. We have considered both variable and constant redshift functions with a logarithmic shape function. The energy conditions are examined, geometric configuration is analyzed and the radius of the throat is determined in order to have wormhole solutions in absence of exotic matter.

In the present communication, we have studied the existence of wormholes described by a logarithmic shape function, in the exponential f(R, T) gravity given by f(R, T) = R + 2ξe^{ςt} where ξ and ς are arbitrary constants, under three different set of physical constraints. The logarithmic shape function is found to be well behaved satisfying all the necessary constraints for traversable and asymptotically flat wormholes. The obtained wormhole solutions are analyzed from the energy conditions for different values of involved physical constants. It has been observed that our proposed shape function for the exponential form of f(R, T) gravity, represents the existence of exotic matter with a standard violation of the NEC. Moreover, for the trace T=0 i.e. for the general relativity case with R being replaced by R+2, the wormhole geometry has been analyzed to prove the existence of exotic matter. Further, the behaviour of physical parameters such as the energy density ρ, the trace T, anisotropy parameter △ describing the geometry of the universe has been presented with the help of graphs.

This paper explores some wormhole (WH) solutions in the background of additional matter contents of f(R, T) modified gravity. For this purpose, we have considered WH geometry filled with two physically different fluid configurations: one is anisotropic and another is anisotropic characterized by the barotropic equation of state. The energy conditions are examined with particular modified gravity model and found the existence of WH solutions even in the absence of exotic matter. Also, we have analyzed the behavior of shape function in this framework. The stability and physical existence of these solutions is studied with different fluid configurations. We conclude that in the absence of exotic matter, one can find WH solutions with particular model of modified gravity.

Morris and Thorne [M. S. Morris and K. S. Thorne, Am. J. Phys. 56, 395 (1988)] proposed geometrical objects called traversable wormholes that act as bridges in connecting two spacetimes or two different points of the same spacetime. The geometrical properties of these wormholes depend upon the choice of the shape function. In the literature, these are studied in modified gravities for different types of shape functions. In this paper, the traversable wormholes having shape function [Formula: see text] are explored 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. For different values of constants in function [Formula: see text], the analysis is done in various cases. In each case, the energy conditions, equation of state parameter and anisotropic parameter are determined.

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.

The f(G) gravity is a theory to modify the general relativity and it can explain the present cosmic accelerating expansion without the need of dark energy. In this paper the f(G) gravity is tested with the energy conditions. Using the Raychaudhuri equation along with the requirement that the gravity is attractive in the FRW background, we obtain the bounds on f(G) from the SEC and NEC. These bounds can also be found directly from the SEC and NEC within the general relativity context by the transformations: ρ → ρm + ρE and p → pm + pE, where ρE and pE are the effective energy density and pressure in the modified gravity. With these transformations, the constraints on f(G) from the WEC and DEC are obtained. Finally, we examine two concrete examples with WEC and obtain the allowed region of model parameters.

In this paper, traversable wormholes have been studied in [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constant. A simplest form of shape function and a logarithmic form of redshift function is considered to construct wormhole solutions. The range of parameters providing the wormhole solutions free from the matter violating the energy conditions is explored. Further, the effect of charge is analyzed on wormhole solutions.

This work is aimed at the study of traversable wormholes, proposed by Morris and Thorne [Wormholes in spacetime and their use for interstellar travel: A tool for teaching general relativity, Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395], in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constants. The wormhole solutions are obtained and analyzed by using a simplest form of shape function. Further, the existence of photon spheres outside the throat of wormhole due to the gravitational lensing effect is detected.
