-We do not know how to open the throat without exotic matter.
-Thin-shell methods with Israel junction conditions can be used to
minimize the exotic matter needed.
However, the stability must be saved.
21. History of Wormholes
Figure 10: Firstly , Flamm’s work on the WH physics using the Schwarzschild
solution (1916).
22. Figure 11: Einstein and Rosen (ER) (1935), ER bridges connecting two
identicalsheets.
23. Figure 12: J.Wheeler used ”geons” (self-gravitating bundles of electromagnetic
fields) by giving the first diagram of a doubly-connected-space (1955).
Wheeler added the term ”wormhole” to the physics literature at the
quantum scale.
28. Traversable Wormhole Construction Criteria
• Obey the Einstein field equations.
• Must have a throat that connects two asymptotically flat regions of
spacetime.
• No horizon, since a horizon will prevent two-way travel through the
wormhole.
• Tidal gravitational forces experienced by a traveler must be bearably
small.
• Traveler must be able to cross through the wormhole in a finite and
reasonably small proper time.
• Physically reasonable stress-energy tensor generated by the matter
and fields.
• Solution must be stable under small perturbation.
• Should be possible to assemble the wormhole. ie. assembly should
require much less than the age of the universe.
30. Traversable Lorentzian Wormholes
The first defined traversable WH is Morris Thorne WH with a the
red-shift function f(r) and a shape function b(r) :
ds2
= −e2f(r)
dt2

). (1)
• Spherically symmetric and static
• Radial coordinate r such that circumference of circle centered
around throat given by 2πr
• r decreases from +∞ to b = b0 (minimum radius) at throat, then
increases from b0 to +∞
• At throat exists coordinate singularity where r component diverges
• Proper radial distance l(r) runs from −∞ to +∞ and vice versa

34. Figure 18: This hypothesis was originally put forward by Mazur and Mottola in
2004.
• Gravastar literally means Gravitational Vacuum Condensate Star
• Black holes havea very large entropy value.
• Gravastars, on the other hand, have quite a low entropy.
• As a star collapses further the particles fall into a Bose-Einstein state
where the entire star nears absolute zero and get very compact.
• Acts as a giant atom composed of bosons.
• The interior of Gravastars is a de Sitter Spacetime, a positive
vacuum energy, an internal negative pressure.
35. • Mazur and Mottola think that event horizon is actually the outer
shell of the Bose-Einstein matter, similar to neutron star
41. • Constructing WHs with non-exotic (normal matter) source is a
difficult issue in General Relativity.
• First, Visser use the thin-shell method to construct WHs by
minimizing the exotic matter on the throat of the WHs.
42.
43. Input: Two space-times
-Use the Darmois –Israel formalism and match an interior spacetime to
an exterior spacetime
-Use the Lanczos equations to find a surface energy density σ and a
surface pressure p.
-Use the energy conservation to find the equation of motion of particle
on the throat of the thin-shell wormhole
-Check the stability by using different EoS equations.
Outputs Thin-shell wormhole
σ < 0 with extrinsic curvature K > 0 of the throat means it required
exotic matter.

• The metric of the Hayward BH is given by
ds2

with the metric function
f (r) =
(

(3)
and

• It is noted that m and l are free parameters.
• At large r, the metric function behaves as a Schwarzchild BH

46. • It is noted that the singularity located at r = 0.
• Thin-shell is located at r = a .
• The throat must be outside of the horizon (a > rh).
• Then we paste two copies of it at the point of r = a.
• For this reason the thin-shell metric is taken as
ds2
= −dτ2
+ a (τ)
2 (
dθ2
+ sin2
θdϕ2
)
(7)
where τ is the proper time on the shell.
• The Einstein equations on the shell are
[
Kj

]
− [K] δj
i = −Sj
i (8)
where [Kij] = K+
ij − K−
ij .
• It is noted that the extrinsic curvature tensor is Kj
i.
• Moreover, K stands for its trace.
• Setting coordinates ξi
= (τ, θ), the extrinsic curvature formula
connecting the two sides of the shell is simply given by
K±

with H(r) = r − a(τ).
• The surface stresses, i.e., surface energy density σ and surface
pressures Sθ
θ = p = Sϕ
ϕ , are determined by the surface stress-energy
tensor Sj
i.
• The energy and pressure densities are obtained as
σ = −

. (12)
• Then they reduce to simple form in a static configuration (a = a0)

. (14)
48. Once σ ≥ 0 and σ + p ≥ 0 hold, then WEC is satisfied.
• It is obvioust hat negative energy density violates the WEC, and
consequently we are in need of the exotic matter for constructing
thin-shell WH.
• Stability of such a WH is investigated by applying a linear
perturbation with the following EoS
p = ψ (σ) (15)
• Moreover the energy conservation is
Sij
;j = 0 (16)
which in closed form it equals to
Sij
,j + Skj
Γiµ
kj + Sik
Γj
kj = 0 (17)
after the line element in Eq.(7) is used, it opens to
∂ (

)
+ p
∂ (

)
= 0. (18)
49. • The 1-D equation of motion is
˙a2
+ V (a) = 0, (19)
in which V (a) is the potential,
V (a) = f −
(aσ
4
)4
. (20)
• The equilibrium point at a = a0 means V′
(a0) = 0 and V′′
(a0) ≥ 0.
• Then it is considered that f1 (a0) = f2 (a0), one finds V0 = V′
0 = 0.
• To obtain V′′
(a0) ≥ 0 we use the given p = ψ (σ) and it is found as
follows
σ′
(

= −

(σ + ψ) (21)
and
σ′′
=

a2
(σ + ψ) (3 + 2ψ′
) , (22)
where ψ′
= dψ
dσ . After we use ψ0 = p0, finally it is found that

1 [
(σ0 + 2p0)
2
+ 2σ0 (σ0 + p0) (1 + 2ψ′

(23)
50. • The equation of motion of the throat, for a small perturbation
becomes
˙a2
+
V′′

(a − a0)2
= 0.
• Note that for the condition of V′′
(a0) ≥ 0 , TSW is stable where the
motion of the throat is oscillatory with angular frequency
ω =

V′′(a0)

Some models of EoS
Now we use some models of matter to analyze the effect of the
parameter of Hayward in the stability of the constructed thin-shell WH.
Linear gas
For a LG, EoS is choosen as
ψ = η0 (σ − σ0) + p0 (24)
in which η0 is a constant and ψ′
(σ0) = η0.
51. Figure 19: Stability of Thin-Shell WH supported by LG.
Fig. shows the stability regions in terms of η0 and a0 with different
Hayward’s parameter. It is noted that the S shows the stable regions.
52. Chaplygin gas
For CG, we choose the EoS as follows
ψ = η0
(
1
σ
−
1
σ0
)
+ p0 (25)
where η0 is a constant and ψ′
(σ0) = − η0
σ2
0
.
53. Figure 20: Stability of Thin-Shell WH supported by CG.
In Fig., the stability regions are shown in terms of η0 and a0 for different
values of ℓ. The effect of Hayward’s constant is to increase the stability
of the Thin-Shell WH.
54. Generalized Chaplygin gas
The EoS of the GCG is taken as
ψ (σ) = η0
(
1
σν
−
1
σν
0
)
+ p0 (26)
where ν and η0 are constants. We check the effect of parameter ν in the
stability and ψ becomes
ψ (σ) = p0
(σ0
σ
)ν
. (27)
55. Figure 21: Stability of Thin-Shell WH supported by GCG.
We find ψ′
(σ0) = − p0
σ0
ν. In Fig., the stability regions are shown in terms
of ν and a0 with various values of ℓ.
56. Modified Generalized Chaplygin gas
In this case, the MGCG is
ψ (σ) = ξ0 (σ − σ0) − η0
(
1
σν
−
1
σν
0
)
+ p0 (28)
in which ξ0, η0 and ν are free parameters. Therefore,
ψ′
(σ0) = ξ0 + η0
η0ν
σν+1
0
. (29)
57. Figure 22: Stability of Thin-Shell WH supported by MGCG.
To go further we set ξ0 = 1 and ν = 1. In Fig., the stability regions are
plotted in terms of η0 and a0 with various values of ℓ. The effect of
Hayward’s constant is to increase the stability of the Thin-Shell WH.
58. Logarithmic gas
Lastly LogG is choosen by follows
ψ (σ) = η0 ln
σ
σ0
+ p0 (30)
in which η0 is a constant. For LogG, we find that
ψ′
(σ0) =
η0
σ0
. (31)
59. Figure 23: Stability of Thin-Shell WH supported by LogG.
In Fig., the stability regions are plotted to show the effect of Hayward’s
parameter clearly. The effect of Hayward’s constant is to increase the
stability of the Thin-Shell WH.
60. Conclusions
• On the thin-shell we use the different type of EoS with the form
p = ψ (σ) and plot possible stable regions.
• We show the stable and unstable regions on the plots.
• Stability simply depends on the condition of V′′
(a0) > 0.
• We show that the parameter ℓ, which is known as Hayward parameter
has a important role.
• Moreover, for higher ℓ value the stable regions are increased.
• It is checked the small velocity perturbations for the throat.
• It is found that throat of the thin-shell WH is not stable against such
kind of perturbations.
• Hence, energy density of the WH is found negative so that we need
exotic matter.

Constructing The Rotating Thin-Shell Wormhole
The 5-d rotating Myers-Perry (5DRMP) black hole solution, which is the
generalization of the Kerr solution to higher dimensions, is given by the
following space-time metric :

where B = Badxa
and
gabdxa
dxb
=
1 (
dθ2
+ sin2
θ dϕ2
)
, B =
1
cos θ dϕ . (36)
63. Note that taking the limit of the Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) length ℓ → ∞ ,
the asymptotically flat case can be recovered. One writes the mass M
and angular momentum J of the spacetime as
M =
πM
4
(
3 +
a2
ℓ2
)
, J = πMa . (37)
For convenience we move to a comoving frame to eliminate cross terms
in the induced metrics by introducing
dψ −→ dψ′
+ K±(R(t))dt . (38)
We choose a radius R(t), which is the throat of the wormhole, and take
two copies of this manifold ˜M± for the interior and exterior regions with
r ≥ R to paste them at an identical hypersurface
Σ = {xµ
: t = T (τ), r = R(τ)}, which is parameterized by coordinates
yi
= {τ, ψ, θ, ϕ} on the 4-d surface.
The line element in the interior and the exterior sides become
ds2
± = −F±(r)2
dt2
+ G±(r)2
dr2
+ r2
dΩ + H±(r)2
{dψ′
+ Badxa
+ [K±(R(t)) −
For simplicity in the comoving frame, we drop the prime on ψ′
. The
geodesically complete manifold is satisfied as ˜M = ˜M+ U ˜M−. We use
64. the Darmois-Israel formalism to construct the rotating thin-shell
wormhole. Using the Israel junction conditions, the Einstein’s equations
for the wormhole produce
ρ = −

, (41)
where primes stand for d/dR and
β ≡ F(R)
√
1 + G(R)2 ˙R2 . (42)
Without rotation or in the case of a corotating frame, the momentum φ
and the anisotropic pressure term ∆P are equal to zero. Consequently,
the static energy and pressure densities at the throat of wormhole R =
65. R0 are given by
ρ0 = −

. (44)
To check the stability of the wormhole, we use the linear equation of
state (EoS):
P = ωρ. (45)
The stability of the wormhole solution depends upon the conditions of
V′′
eff (R0) > 0 and V′
eff (R0) = Veff (R0) = 0 as
Veff ∼
1
2
V′′
eff (R0) (R − R0)

. (46)
Let us then introduce x = R − R0 and write the equation of motion
again:
˙x2
+
1
2
V′′
eff (R0) x2
= 0 (47)
which after a derivative with respect to time reduces to
¨x +
1
V′′
eff (R0) x = 0. (48)
66. We show the conditions for a positive stability value. Our main aim is to
discover the behavior of V′′
eff (R0) as

eff =

67. Note that a = ω = 0 corresponds to a non-rotating case. It is easy to see
that a has a crucial role in this stability analysis; the stability regions are
shown in the following Figs.:

70. Discussions
• We have studied a TSWH with rotation in 5-D constructed using a
Myers-Perry black hole with cosmological constants using a cut-and-paste
procedure.
• The standard stability approach has been applied by considering a linear
gas model at the TSWH throat.
• A key feature of the current analysis is the inclusion of rotation in the
form of non-zero values of angular momentum.
• Another key aspect of the current analysis is the focus on different values
of parameter (a), which plays a crucial role in making the TSWH more
stable in five dimensions.
• We observe that the stability of the wormhole is fundamentally linked to
the behavior of the constant (a).
• The amount of exotic matter required to support the TSWH is always a
crucial issue; unfortunately, we are not able to completely eliminate
exotic matter during the constructing of the stable rotating TSWH.

Exterior Of Gravastars: Noncommutative geometry inspired
Charged BHs
• The metric of a noncommutative charged black hole is described by the
metric given in S. Ansoldi et al.Phys.Lett.B645,261(2007):
ds2
= −f(r)dt2
+ f(r)−1
dr2

with f(r) =

73. STRUCTURE EQUATIONS OF CHARGED GRAVASTARS

and exterior of noncommutative geometry inspired charged spacetimes:

• Then using the relation of Si

74. • To calculate the surface mass of the thin-shell, one can use this equation
Ms(a) = 4πa2

[a0 ∈ (r−, r+)].

76. Stability of the Charged Thin-shell Gravastars in Noncommutative
Geometry
• We use the surface energy density σ(a) on the thin-shell of the gravastars
to check stability:

with the potential,

. (59)
It is noted that B(a) and D(a) are
B(a) =

, D(a) =

77. • One can also easily obtain the surface mass as a function of the potential:

(61)
• Then the surface charge and the pressure are rewritten in terms of

• To find the stable solution, we linearize it using the Taylor expansion
around the a0 to second order as follows:
V(a) =
1
V′′
(a0)(a − a0)2
+ O[(a − a0)3
] . (64)
78. • Note that for stability, the conditions are V(a0) = V′
(a0) = 0,
˙a0 = ¨a0 = 0 and V′′
(a0) > 0.
• Using the relation Ms(a) = 4πσ(a)a2

• Moreover, we have also introduced η(a) = P′
(a)/σ′
(a)|a0 , as a parameter
which will play a fundamental role in determining the stability regions of
the respective solutions.
• Generally, η interpreted as the speed of sound, so that one would expect
the range of 0 < η ≤ 1, that the speed of sound should not exceed the
speed of light.
80. • But the range of η may be lying outside the range of 0 < η ≤ 1, on the
surface layer.
• Therefore, in this work the range of η will be relaxed and we use
graphical reputation to determine the stability regions given by the Eq.
(34), due to the complexity of the expression.

• We have studied the stability of a particular class of thin-shell gravastar
solutions, in the context of charged noncommutative geometry.
• We have considered the de Sitter geometry in the interior of the
gravastar by matching an exterior charged noncommutative solution at a
junction interface situated outside the event horizon.
• We have showed that gravastar’s shell satisfies the null energy conditions.
• We further explored the gravastar solution by the dynamical stability of
the transition layer, which is sufficient close to the event horizon.
• We have found that for specific choices of mass Mθ, charge Qθ and the
values of α, the stable configurations of the surface layer do exists which
is sufficiently close to where the event horizon is expected to form.
