Abstract: (Elsevier)
In this paper I present a new class of traversalle wormholes. This is done by surgically grafting two Schwarzschild spacetimes together in such a way that no event horizon is to form. This surgery concentrates a non-zero stress-energy on the boundary layer between the two asymptotically flat regions. We investigate this stress-energy in detail using the “junction condition” formalism. A feature of the present analysis is that this class of traversible wormholers is sufficiently simple for a (partial) dynamical stability analysis to be carried out. The stability analysis places constraints on the equation of the state o the exotic matter that comprises the throat of the wormhole.- space-time: Schwarzschild
