Traversable Wormholes in Geometries of Charged Shells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a static axisymmetric wormhole from the gravitational field of two charged shells which are kept in equilibrium by their electromagnetic repulsion. For large separations the exterior tends to the Majumdar-Papapetrou spacetime of two charged particles. The interior of the wormhole is a Reissner-Nordström black hole matching to the two shells. The wormhole is traversable and connects to the same asymptotics without violation of energy conditions. However, every point in the Majumdar-Papapetrou region lies on a closed timelike curve.

Phantom 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 کاملMonopole and Electrically Charged Dust Thin Shells in General Relativity: Classical and Quantum Comparison of Hollow and Atomlike Conngurations Typeset Using Revt E X
We give a comparative description of monopole and electrically charged spherically symmetric dust thin shells. Herewith we consider two of the most interesting conngurations: the hollow shell and shell, surrounding a body with opposite charge. The classiication of shells in accordance with the types of black holes and traversable wormholes is constructed. The theorems for the parameters of turn...
متن کاملTraversable wormholes with arbitrarily small energy condition violations.
Traversable wormholes necessarily require violations of the averaged null energy condition, this being the definition of "exotic matter." However, the theorems which guarantee the energy condition violation are remarkably silent when it comes to making quantitative statements regarding the "total amount" of energy condition violating matter in the spacetime. We develop a suitable measure for qu...
متن کاملTraversable wormholes: the Roman ring
In this brief report I introduce a yet another class of geometries for which semi-classical chronology protection theorems are of dubious physical reliability. I consider a “Roman ring” of traversable wormholes, wherein a number of wormholes are arranged in a ring in such a manner that no subset of wormholes is near to chronology violation, though the combined system can be arbitrarily close to...
متن کاملClassical and quantum aspects of radiation fluid shells: Black holes and wormholes, mass amplification, light dark matter
A spherically symmetric thin shell out of the matter satisfying the ultrarelativistic state equation (radiation fluid) is considered. Description of black holes and traversable wormholes formed by such shells is given. We prove the theorem on the static states of shells of these types. The motivation of classical wormholes instability and restriction on the total energy becomes the corollary of...
