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.

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.

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 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.

This work is focused on the study of charged wormholes in the following two aspects: (i) to obtain exotic matter free effective charged wormhole solutions and (ii) to determine deflection angle for gravitational lensing effect. We have defined a novel redshift function, obtained wormhole solutions using the background of [Formula: see text] theory of gravity and found the regions obeying the weak energy condition. Further, the gravitational lensing effect is analyzed by determining the deflection angle in terms of strong field limit coefficients.

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.

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.
