Stability of Effective Thin-shell Wormholes Under Lorentz Symmetry Breaking Supported by Dark Matter and Dark Energy
In this paper, we construct generic, spherically symmetric thin-shell
wormholes and check their stabilities using the unified dark sector, including
dark energy and dark matter. We give a master equation, from which one can
recover, as a special case, other stability solutions for generic spherically
symmetric thin-shell wormholes. In this context, we consider a particular
solution; namely we construct an effective thin-shell wormhole under Lorentz
symmetry breaking. We explore stability analyses using different models of the
modified Chaplygin gas with constraints from cosmological observations such as
seventh-year full Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe data points, type Ia
supernovae, and baryon acoustic oscillation. In all these models we find stable
solutions by choosing suitable values for the parameters of the Lorentz
symmetry breaking effect.Comment: 13 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Eur. Phys. J. Plu
Gravitational Lensing by Rotating Wormholes
In this paper the deflection angle of light by a rotating Teo wormhole
spacetime is calculated in the weak limit approximation. We mainly focus on the
weak deflection angle by revealing the gravitational lensing as a partially
global topological effect. We apply the Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT) to the
optical geometry osculating the Teo-Randers wormhole optical geometry to
calculate the deflection angle. Furthermore we find the same result using the
standard geodesic method. We have found that the deflection angle can be
written as a sum of two terms, namely the first term is proportional to the
throat of the wormhole and depends entirely on the geometry, while the second
term is proportional to the spin angular momentum parameter of the wormhole. A
direct observation using lensing can shed light and potentially test the nature
of rotating wormholes by comparing with the black holes systems.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physical Review
Stable Dyonic Thin-Shell Wormholes in Low-Energy String Theory
Considerable attention has been devoted to the wormhole physics in the past
30 years by exploring the possibilities of finding traversable wormholes
without the need of exotic matter. In particular the thin-shell wormhole
formalism has been widely investigated by exploiting the cut-and-paste
technique to merge two space-time regions and, to research the stability of
these wormholes developed by Visser. This method helps us to minimize the
amount of the exotic matter. In this paper we construct a four dimensional,
spherically symmetric, dyonic thin-shell wormhole with electric charge ,
magnetic charge , and dilaton charge , in the context of
Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. We have applied Darmois-Israel formalism and
the cut-and-paste method by joining together two identical spacetime solutions.
We carry out the dyonic thin-shell wormhole stability analyses by using a
linear barotropic gas, Chaplygin gas, and logarithmic gas for the exotic
matter. It is shown that by choosing suitable parameter values as well as
equation of state parameter, under specific conditions we obtain a stable
dyonic thin-shell wormhole solution. Finally we argue that, the stability
domain of the dyonic thin-shell wormhole can be increased in terms of electric
charge, magnetic charge, and dilaton charge.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, will appear in Advances in High Energy Physic
