Magnetic Morris–Thorne wormhole in $$2+1$$ 2 + 1 -dimensions

Abstract

In the context of $2+1-$dimensional gravity coupled to a particular nonlinear electrodynamics (NED), we obtain a class of traversable / Morris-Thorne type wormhole solutions. The problem is reduced to a single function dependence in which the shape function acts as generator to the wormholes. The field ansatz is pure magnetic and the nonlinear Lagrangian is $\sqrt{F_{\mu \nu }F^{\mu \nu }}$ i.e. the square root of the Maxwell Lagrangian. In $2+1-$dimensions the source-free pure magnetic non-linear Maxwell equation with square-root Lagrangian is trivially satisfied. The exotic energy density is found explicitly and the flare-out conditions are emphasized.
