Cylindrical wormholes

چکیده
It is shown that the existence of static, cylindrically symmetric wormholes does not require violation of the weak or null energy conditions near the throat, and cylindrically symmetric wormhole geometries can appear with less exotic sources than wormholes whose throats have a spherical topology. Examples of exact wormhole solutions are given with scalar, spinor and electromagnetic fields as sources, and these fields are not necessarily phantom. In particular, there are wormhole solutions for a massless, minimally coupled scalar field in the presence of a negative cosmological constant, and for an azimuthal Maxwell electromagnetic field. All these solutions are not asymptotically flat, and obtaining a flat (or string) asymptotic behavior seems to be a hard problem for cylindrically symmetric wormholes in general.

Wormhole cosmic strings.
We construct regular multi-wormhole solutions to a gravitating σ model in three space-time dimensions, and extend these solutions to cylindrical traversable wormholes in four and five dimensions. We then discuss the possibility of identifying wormhole mouths in pairs to give rise to Wheeler wormholes. Such an identification is consistent with the original field equations only in the absence of ...
متن کاملHypertime formalism for spherically symmetric black holes and wormholes.
Recent work on an approach to the geometrodynamics of cylindrical gravity waves in the presence of interacting scalar matter fields, based on the Kuchař hypertime formalism, is extended to the analogous spherically symmetric system. This produces a geometrodynamical formalism for spherical black holes and wormholes in which the metric variables are divided into two classes, dynamical and redund...
متن کاملAstrophysics of Wormholes
We consider the hypothesis that some active galactic nuclei and other compact astrophysical objects may be current or former entrances to wormholes. A broad mass spectrum for astrophysical wormholes is possible. We consider various new models of the static wormholes including wormholes maintained mainly by an electromagnetic field. We also discuss observational effects of a single entrance to w...
متن کاملBlack holes and traversible wormholes: a synthesis
A unified framework for black holes and traversible wormholes is described, where both are locally defined by outer trapping horizons, two-way traversible for wormholes and one-way traversible for black or white holes. In a two-dimensional dilaton gravity model, examples are given of: construction of wormholes from black holes; operation of wormholes for transport, including back-reaction; main...
متن کاملPassage of Photons Through Wormholes and the Influence of Rotation on the Amount of Phantom Matter around Them
Static (spherically symmetrical) and stationary solutions for wormholes are considered. The main characteristics of electromagnetic radiation passing through a wormhole are found. These properties can be used to distinguish wormholes from other astrophysical objects. The visibility horizon, which characterizes the differences between black holes and passing wormholes, is determined in an invari...
