Wormholes supported by polytropic phantom energy

Abstract: It is generally agreed that the acceleration of the Universe can best be explained by the presence of dark or phantom energy. The equation of state of the latter shows that the null energy condition is violated. Such a violation is the primary ingredient for sustaining traversable wormholes. This paper discusses wormholes supported by a more general form called polytropic phantom energy. Its equation of state results in significant generalizations of the phantom-energy and, in some cases, the generalized Chapl… Show more

“…Thus, gravitational lensing should give some opportunities for detecting wormholes [4,5]. General features of various wormholes were investigated in a great number of papers and we would like to refer the reader to only a recent few, where further references can be found [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…We get from Eqs. (13) and (14), that σ < 0 but σ + p ≥ 0 and σ + 2p ≥ 0, for all values of M and θ, which show that the shell contains matter, violates the weak energy condition and obeys the null and strong energy conditions which is shown in Fig. (4) …”
