Wormhole modeling in $R^2$ gravity with linear trace term

Abstract

Morris and Thorne \cite{morris1} proposed traversable wormholes, hypothetical connecting tools, using the concept of Einstein's general theory of relativity. In this paper, the modification of general relativity (in particular $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity defined by Harko et al. \cite{harko}) is considered, to study the traversable wormhole solutions. The function $f(R,T)$ is considered as $f(R,T)=R+\alpha R^2+\beta T$, where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are controlling parameters. The shape and red shift functions appearing in the metric of wormhole structure have significant contribution in the development of wormhole solutions. We have considered both variable and constant red shift functions with a logarithmic shape function. The energy conditions are examined, geometric configuration is analyzed and the radius of the throat is determined in order to have wormhole solutions in absence of exotic matter.
