The presence of exotic matter for the existence of the wormhole geometry has been an unavoidable problem in GR. In recent studies, researchers have tried to deal with this issue using modified gravity theories where the WH geometry is explained by the extra curvature terms and NEC’s are not violated signifying the standard matter in the WH geometry. In this paper, we investigate the solutions of traversable wormholes with normal matter in the throat within the framework of symmetric teleparallel gravity [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the non-metricity scalar that defines the gravitational interaction. We analyze the wormhole geometries for three forms of function [Formula: see text]. First is the linear form [Formula: see text], second a nonlinear form [Formula: see text] and third one a more general quadratic form [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] being the constants. For all the three cases, the shape function is taken as [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the throat radius. A special variable redshift function is considered for the discussion. All the energy conditions are then examined for the existence and stability of the wormhole geometry.

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.

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 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.

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 paper, the modeling of traversable wormholes, proposed by Morris and Thorne [Am. J. Phys. 56, 395 (1988)], is performed within the [Formula: see text] gravity with particular viable case [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The energy conditions are analyzed using the shape function [Formula: see text] defined by Godani and Samanta [Int. J. Mod. Phys. D 28, 1950039 (2018)] and the geometric nature of wormholes is analyzed.

Traversable wormholes, tunnel-like structures introduced by Morris and Thorne [Am. J. Phys. 56 (1988) 395], have a significant role in connection of two different spacetimes or two different parts of the same spacetime. The characteristics of these wormholes depend upon the redshift and shape functions which are defined in terms of radial coordinate. In literature, several shape functions are defined and wormholes are studied in [Formula: see text] gravity with respect to these shape functions [F. S. N. Lobo and M. A. Oliveira, Phys. Rev. D 80 (2009) 104012; H. Saiedi and B. N. Esfahani, Mod. Phys. Lett. A 26 (2011) 1211; S. Bahamonde, M. Jamil, P. Pavlovic and M. Sossich, Phys. Rev. D 94 (2016) 044041]. In this paper, two shape functions (i) [Formula: see text] and (ii) [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], are considered. The first shape function is newly defined, however, the second one is collected from the literature [M. Cataldo, L. Liempi and P. Rodríguez, Eur. Phys. J. C 77 (2017) 748]. The wormholes are investigated for each type of shape function 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. Varying the parameter [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] model is studied in five subcases for each type of shape function. In each case, the energy density, radial and tangential pressures, energy conditions that include null energy condition, weak energy condition, strong energy condition and dominated energy condition and anisotropic parameter are computed. The energy density is found to be positive and all energy conditions are obtained to be violated which support the existence of wormholes. Also, the equation-of-state parameter is obtained to possess values less than [Formula: see text], that shows the presence of the phantom fluid and leads toward the expansion of the universe.

We consider the possibility of multiply-connected spacetimes, ranging from the Flamm–Einstein–Rosen bridge, geons, and the modern renaissance of traversable wormholes. A fundamental property in wormhole physics is the flaring-out condition of the throat, which through the Einstein field equation entails the violation of the null energy condition (NEC). In the context of modified theories of gravity, it has also been shown that the normal matter can be imposed to satisfy the energy conditions, and it is the higher order curvature terms, interpreted as a gravitational fluid, that sustain these nonstandard wormhole geometries, fundamentally different from their counterparts in general relativity (GR). We explore interesting features of these geometries, in particular, the physical properties and characteristics of these ‘exotic spacetimes’.

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.

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 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.
