Abstract: (arXiv)
The modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) is a strong candidate for the unified model of dark matter and dark energy. The equation of state of this modified model is valid from the radiation era to the Λ\LambdaCDM model. In early epoch (when ρ\rho was large), dark matter had the dominant role while at later stages (when ρ\rho is small), the MCG model behaves as dark energy. In this work, we have found exact solution of static spherically symmetric Einstein equations describing a wormhole for an inhomogeneous distribution of modified Chaplygin gas. For existence of wormhole solution, there are some restrictions relating the parameters in the equation of state for MCG and the throat radius of the wormhole. Physical properties and characteristics of these modified Chaplygin wormholes are analyzed in details.
