Linearized stability analysis of thin-shell wormholes with a cosmological constant
Spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes in the presence of a cosmological constant are constructed applying the cut-and-paste technique implemented by Visser. Using the Darmois-Israel formalism the surface stresses, which are concentrated at the wormhole throat, are determined. This construction allows one to apply a dynamical analysis to the throat, considering linearized radial perturbatio...
متن کاملOnce again on thin-shell wormholes in scalar-tensor gravity
It has been recently proved in a general form [1] that no wormholes can be formed in any scalartensor theory (STT) of gravity in which the non-minimal coupling function f(Φ) is everywhere positive and the scalar field Φ itself is not a ghost if matter sources of gravity respect the Null Energy Condition (NEC). In order to construct any viable and stable wormhole solution, attempts have been rec...
متن کاملWormholes and the Cosmological Constant*
We review Coleman’s wormhole mechanism for the vanishing of the cosmological constant. We show that in a minisuperspace model wormhole-connected universes dominate the path integral. We also provide evidence that the Euclidean path integral over geometries with spherical topology is unstable with respect to formation of infinitely many wormhole-connected 4-spheres. Consistency is restored by su...

متن کاملWormholes in spacetimes with cosmological horizons
A generalisation of the asymptotic wormhole boundary condition for the case of spacetimes with a cosmological horizon is proposed. In particular, we consider de Sitter spacetime with small cosmological constant. The wave functions selected by this proposal are exponentially damped in WKB approximation when the scale factor is large but still much smaller than the horizon size. In addition, they...
