Morris-Thorne Wormhole in the Vector-Tensor theories with Abelian gauge symmetry breaking
arXiv:2011.06711 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.104.044006
Abstract
We construct an asymptotically flat Morris-Thorne wormhole solution supported by anisotropic matter fluid and a vector field which is coupled to gravity in a non-minimal way with broken Abelian gauge symmetry. In this paper, a specific shape function is considered. We find that the ansatz of vector field plays a significant role in determining the spacetime geometry of the wormhole. If there exists the electrostatic potential only, the redshift function could be considered as a constant value, implying the vanishing tidal force. However, when the vector potential in radial-direction is involved, the r-component of extended Maxwell equations at the wormhole's throat is invalid. To solve this issue, a thin shell is introduced near the throat, dividing the spacetime into two parts. Furthermore, it is proved that the spacetime geometry of wormhole could be smooth at junction position if the expressions of redshift function and vector potential are given appropriately. Finally, the energy conditions and the volume integral quantifer are explored.
