Higher-dimensional topologically charged traversable defect wormhole with non-exotic matter

Abstract

In this study, we explore a topologically charged higher-dimensional traversable defect wormhole, with a specific emphasis on five dimensions. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the matter–energy distribution attributed to this charged wormhole configuration adheres to the weak energy condition, thus presenting an instance of a five-dimensional wormhole supported by non-exotic matter. Furthermore, our analysis shows that scalar quantities related to space-time curvature and parameters associated with the matter–energy distribution remain finite at the wormhole throat. Moreover, they diminish as distance extends toward infinity, indicating the asymptotic flatness inherent in our model.
