Novel Einstein–scalar-Gauss-Bonnet wormholes without exotic matter

Abstract: Novel wormholes are obtained in Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theory for several coupling functions. The wormholes may feature a single-throat or a double-throat geometry and do not demand any exotic matter. The scalar field may asymptotically vanish or be finite, and it may possess radial excitations. The domain of existence is fully mapped out for various forms of the coupling function.

“…In fact, different setups have been constructed to evade the no-hair theorem [6]. Recent studies suggest that BHs, as sources of extreme gravity, can possess soft quantum hair [7]. However, the derivation of new solutions representing BHs is hindered by the non-linearity as well as high degree of freedom in the field equations.…”

“…On the other hand, if a traversable wormhole can be obtained from a more classical or semiclassical construction, it may indicate that the original proposal of the ER = EPR conjecture may be inconsistent or that the proposal should be restricted. In order to do this, the violation of the averaged null energy condition would be required [87], which would be possible if one did not consider the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor of the entire histories [85] (i.e., if one would consider only a specific non-perturbative process [84,[88][89][90]) or if the theory would violate causality somewhat due to modifications of gravity (e.g., [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]).…”

“…We note that the violation of the NEC also implies the violation of the weak and strong energy conditions. Since the wormhole spacetime is spherically symmetric, there are two choices of null vector [44],…”

“…The connecting and traveling characteristics of wormholes attract the theoretical research community and from the last few decades many researchers have intensively studied various aspects of traversable wormholes within Einstein gravity as well as in different theories of modified gravity [3,. Further, in the last year, more different wormhole like geometries are found in the bumblebee gravity [56], Einstein-Cartan Garvity [57], exponential f (R, T ) gravity [58], modified gravity with ρ(R, R ) matter [59] and Novel Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet gravity [60].…”
