STABILITY ANALYSIS OF THIN SHELL WORMHOLES SUPPORTED BY THE MODIFIED CHAPLYGIN GAS

Abstract

In this work, the stability of static solutions of spherical thin shell wormholes is analyzed when a slight perturbation (which preserves the basic symmetry) is applied to them. The modified Chaplygin gas (with α = 1 in the equation of state) has been chosen as a candidate for exotic matter needed around the throat. Different cases for such thin shell wormhole construction have been studied, viz. wormholes constructed from Schwarzschild, Schwarzschild–de Sitter, Schwarzschild–anti-de Sitter and Reissner–Nordström metrics. Depending upon the values of the parameters and some restrictions obeyed by them, static stable solutions are seen to exist in some cases.
