A study of Yukawa–Casimir wormholes in some Rastall frameworks via conformal killing vectors approach

Abstract

Present work explores the possibility of obtaining analytical wormhole solutions in Rastall theory of gravity and its modified torsion based version where the conformal killing vectors are introduced. To achieve this target, we assume spherically symmetric wormhole metric with anisotropic background matter and find the analytical solutions by taking Casimir as well as Yukawa corrected energy densities into account. The formulated solutions are then examined graphically for checking the essential properties of wormhole configuration and also, the impact of Rastall parameter, in this respect, is explored. It is found that primary wormhole properties hold in all cases while the obtained wormhole solutions in torsion based Rastall theory do not fulfill asymptotic flatness criteria for some certain choices of Rastall parameter. Further, behavior of null energy constraint is explored and the volume integral quantifier is computed for each case. We also discuss the equilibrium of proposed wormhole configurations by checking the behavior of four different forces using generalized Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff equation in Rastall background (as the equilibrium condition gets modified) and conclude that these forces refer to the stability of the system in all cases, especially when one moves away from the wormhole throat.
