Traversable Wormholes and Yukawa Potentials |
Abstract |
Since Yukawa corrections to Newton potentials appear in some modified theories of gravity, we explore some aspects of traversable wormholes with a shape function having a Yukawa-like profile and related generalizations. These aspects also include the introduction of some equations of state. More specifically, we consider an equation of state in which the sum of the energy density and radial pressure is proportional to a Yukawa profile. In some cases, we will show that the specific wormhole solution has an asymptotic behaviour corresponding to a global monopole. |
