abstract

Building on the work of Morris, Thorne, and Yurtsever, some particularly simple examples of traversable wormholes are exhibited. These examples are notable both because the analysis is not limited to spherically symmetric cases, and because it is possible to in some sense minimize the use of exotic matter. In particular, it is possible for a traveller to traverse such a wormhole without passing through a region of exotic matter. As in previous analyses, the weak energy condition is violated in these traversable wormholes.

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.

Thermal Casimir Effect in A Schwarzschild-like Wormhole Spacetime

hep-th · 2026-05-26 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Calculates renormalized Casimir free energy and thermodynamic quantities for a scalar field in a wormhole spacetime at finite temperature, finding geometry-independent thermal corrections in the comoving frame.

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.

Cosmic Strings as Dynamical Dark Energy: Novel Constraints

astro-ph.CO · 2025-05-28 · conditional · novelty 4.0

Cosmic string networks are constrained to less than ~1% of the energy density using CMB+BAO+SN data, with some models preferring mildly negative densities but no Bayesian evidence favoring them over LambdaCDM.
