Possible Wormhole Candidates in Active Galactic Nuclei

Abstract: The hypothesis is considered that the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are wormhole (WH) mouths rather than supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We study the difference in the physical properties of such objects from those of AGNs with SMBH, as well as the the corresponding difference in observational data. Firstly, the radiative efficiency for some types of WHs (both static and rotating) can be significantly larger than the theoretical maximal value for the Kerr SMBHs. A number of AGNs is presented, for which the o… Show more

“…Previously, we considered the possible accretion of matter into a wormhole [55,56]. Specifically, we studied the case where accretion into a traversable wormhole occurs from both sides, each of which is located at the center of the active galactic nucleus.…”

“…In [14] ways of actually observing wormholes using astrophysical observations is discussed. Some recent articles discusses possible detection of wormholes in the active galactic nuclei [15] and in the bulge of the milky way galaxy [16]. Recently traversable wormholes were constructed in Einstein-Dirac-Maxwell theory without exotic matter [17].…”

“…How do these exotic objects compare to their GR black hole counterparts and how can we tell them apart (see for example [18][19][20][21][22][23])? For example, the hypothesis that Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN's) are not supermassive black holes but rather throats of macroscopic wormholes has been considered (see [24,25] and references within). Furthermore, theoretical work (see e.g.…”
