abstract

In this paper I present a new class of traversable wormholes. This is done by surgically grafting two Schwarzschild spacetimes together in such a way that no event horizon is permitted to form. This surgery concentrates a non--zero stress--energy on the boundary layer between the two asymptotically flat regions. I shall investigate this stress--energy in detail using the "junction condition" formalism. A feature of the present analysis is that this class of traversable wormholes is sufficiently simple for a (partial) dynamical stability analysis to be carried out. The stability analysis places constraints on the equation of state of the exotic matter that comprises the throat of the wormhole.

Reflectionless and echo modes in asymmetric Damour-Solodukhin wormholes

gr-qc · 2025-11-01 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In asymmetric Damour-Solodukhin wormholes, reflectionless and echo modes share asymptotic spectral properties parallel to the real frequency axis with matching spacing, and reflectionless modes lie closer to the axis yielding larger echo amplitudes.

Thermodynamics of thin-shell wormholes

gr-qc · 2026-06-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The paper derives a generalized first law for thin-shell wormholes showing entropy conservation for isolated transparent shells and flux-dependent entropy change when bulk matter crosses the throat.

On relativistic observables in black bounce spacetimes

gr-qc · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 4.0

Black bounce spacetimes with larger throat parameter α produce enhanced periastron precession, light deflection, and a larger critical impact parameter in the wormhole regime, offering potential observational signatures.
