String Supported Wormhole Spacetimes and Causality Violations
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct a static axisymmetric wormhole from the gravitational field of two Schwarzschild particles which are kept in equilibrium by strings (ropes) extending to infinity. The wormhole is obtained by matching two three-dimensional timelike surfaces surrounding each of the particles and thus spacetime becomes non-simply connected. Although the matching will not be exact in general it is possible to make the error arbitrarily small by assuming that the distance between the particles is much larger than the radius of the wormhole mouths. Whenever the masses of the two wormhole mouths are different, causality violating effects will occur. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]

Wormholes in String Theory
A wormhole is constructed by cutting and joining two spacetimes satisfying the low energy string equations with a dilaton field. In spacetimes described by the “string metric” the dilaton energy-momentum tensor need not satisfy the weak or dominant energy conditions. In the cases considered here the dilaton field violates these energy conditions and is the source of the exotic matter required t...
متن کاملPhantom energy traversable wormholes
It has been suggested that a possible candidate for the present accelerated expansion of the Universe is “phantom energy”. The latter possesses an equation of state of the form ω ≡ p/ρ < −1, consequently violating the null energy condition. As this is the fundamental ingredient to sustain traversable wormholes, this cosmic fluid presents us with a natural scenario for the existence of these exo...
متن کاملFlat wormholes from straight cosmic strings
Special multi-cosmic string metrics are analytically extended to describe configurations of Wheeler-Misner wormholes and ordinary cosmic strings. I investigate in detail the case of flat, asymptotically Minkowskian, Wheeler-Misner wormhole spacetimes generated by two cosmic strings, each with tension −1/4G.
متن کاملThe null energy condition in dynamic wormholes
We extend previous proofs that violations of the null energy condition (NEC) are a generic and universal feature of traversable wormholes to completely non-symmetric time-dependent wormholes. We show that the analysis can be phrased purely in terms of local geometry at and near the wormhole throat, and do not have to make any technical assumptions about asymptotic flatness or other global prope...
متن کاملCharged Wormholes Supported by 2-Fluid Immiscible Matter Particle
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com The existence of Lorentzian wormholes has been a speculative issue though there are views that it can exist at the planck scale of 35 10− meters [1]. Though wormholes are designated as tunnels connecting two distinct universes or regions of the same universe but their actual physical significance was first proposed by Morris & Thorne [2] and their p...
