f(T) gravity and static wormhole solutions

Abstract

In this paper, we study static spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in the framework of f(T) gravity, where T represents torsion scalar. We consider non-diagonal tetrad and anisotropic distribution of the fluid. We construct expressions for matter components such as energy density, radial pressure and transverse pressure from the field equations. Taking into account a particular equation of state (EoS) in terms of traceless fluid, we discuss the behavior of energy conditions for wormhole solutions with well-known f(T) and shape functions. We conclude that physically acceptable static wormhole solutions are obtained for both these functions.
