We match an interior solution of a spherically symmetric traversable wormhole to a unique exterior vacuum solution, with a generic cosmological constant, at a junction interface, and the surface stresses on the thin shell are deduced. In the spirit of minimizing the usage of exotic matter we determine regions in which the weak and null energy conditions are satisfied on the junction surface. The characteristics and several physical properties of the surface stresses are explored, namely, regions where the sign of the tangential surface pressure is positive and negative (surface tension) are determined. This is done by expressing the tangential surface pressure as a function of several parameters, namely, that of the matching radius, the redshift parameter, the surface energy density and of the generic cosmological constant. An equation governing the behavior of the radial pressure across the junction surface is also deduced.

  1. Linearized stability of T-duality quantum-inspired thin-shell wormholes

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Thin-shell wormholes in T-duality quantum-corrected regular spacetimes exhibit an intermediate-radius window of unconditional stability absent in the classical Schwarzschild case.

  2. Thin-shell wormholes in cosmic voids

    gr-qc 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    Thin-shell wormholes can be built inside a cosmic void by gluing two black-hole-in-void spacetimes, and their stability depends sharply on the shell equation of state.

  3. Static Dark Fluid Thin Shells in Schwarzschild-de Sitter Spacetimes: Stability and Black Hole Shadows

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stable static dark-fluid shells separating two Schwarzschild–de Sitter spacetimes exist only for m_+/m_->1 and arise at three scales, imprinting observable black-hole shadow deviations.

  4. Revisiting Schwarzschild's constant density star in isotropic coordinates

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Re-derivation of the constant-density star in isotropic coordinates produces a transparent metric and highlights under-appreciated special cases including pressure gravitating alone and naked singularities.
