More about wormholes in generalized Galileon theories

Abstract

We consider a class of generalized Galileon theories within General Relativity in space-times of more than two spatial dimensions. We show that these theories do not admit stable, static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat and traversable Lorentzian wormholes.
