Thin-shell wormholes in Brans-Dicke gravity
arXiv:0809.1623 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2008.10.065
Abstract
Spherically symmetric thin-shell wormholes are constructed within the framework of Brans-Dicke gravity. It is shown that, for appropriate values of the Brans-Dicke constant, these wormholes can be supported by matter satisfying the energy conditions.
