New traversable wormhole solutions in f(T) gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we search for dynamical traversable wormhole solutions in the modified [Formula: see text] theory of gravity, [Formula: see text] being the torsion scalar. For such a wormhole, the time dependence is inserted in the static traversable wormhole metric of Morris and Thorne. Two set of tetrads are adopted: the diagonal and the nondiagonal tetrads. The diagonal set of tetrads constrains and reduces [Formula: see text] model to teleparallel theory where usual solutions have been found. With diagonal set of tetrads, free from the teleparallel theory constraint, our results show that the existence of traversable wormhole is possible only for nondynamical spacetime metric, i.e. static traversable wormhole solutions. Moreover we take into account energy condition analysis and the results show that the violation of null energy condition is not determinant for existence of static traversable wormhole solutions.
