Galactic halo traversable wormhole solutions in f(𝒢,T) gravity

Abstract

This paper explores static spherically symmetric wormhole solutions in the galatic halo region for [Formula: see text] gravity ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] represent the Gauss–Bonnet invariant and trace of the energy–momentum tensor, respectively). We formulate the explicit expressions for matter variables and evaluate wormhole solutions either specifying [Formula: see text] model to construct shape function or taking specific form of the shape function to determine [Formula: see text] model. It is found that null energy condition for the effective energy–momentum tensor is violated throughout the evolution in both cases while physically acceptable wormhole solutions exist only for a considered [Formula: see text] model.
