Wormholes in Wyman's solution

Abstract: The most general solution of the Einstein field equations coupled with a massless scalar field is known as Wyman's solution. This solution is also present in the Brans-Dicke theory and, due to its importance, it has been studied in detail by many authors. However, this solutions has not been studied from the perspective of a possible wormhole. In this paper, we perform a detailed analysis of this issue. It turns out that there is a wormhole. Although we prove that the so-called throat cannot be traversed by hu… Show more

“…In subsequent works we will extend the analysis to include other static wormhole solutions [61], among which we have wormholes in Wyman's solution [62] and wormholes in Hořava theory [63], and we will generate their imperfect fluid rotating counterparts.…”

“…Since Fisher solution possesses wormholes [13], it is natural that the spacetime (4) presents wormhole too. To find the values of m and n for which this happens, let us use the definition of a traversable wormhole throat given by Hochberg and Visser in Ref.…”
