Spherically symmetric traversable wormholes in f(R2,T) gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we explore the possibility of wormhole solutions existence exhibiting spherical symmetry in an interesting modified gravity based on Ricci scalar term and trace of energy–momentum tensor. For this reason, we assume the matter distribution as anisotropic fluid and a specific viable form of the generic function given by [Formula: see text] involving [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], two arbitrary constant parameters. For having a simplified form of the resulting field equations, we assume three different forms of EoS of the assumed matter contents. In each case, we find the numerical wormhole solutions and analyze their properties for the wormhole existence graphically. The graphical behavior of the energy condition bounds is also investigated in each case. It is found that a realistic wormhole solutions satisfying all the properties can be obtained in each case.
