Lorentzian wormholes supported by tachyon matter

Abstract

Wormholes with Ellis geometry have been successfully constructed using tachyon matter \cite{Das}. However, for such a wormhole, it is obtained that the redshift function is necessarily a constant, and also the wormhole is plagued with an imaginary tachyon potential and a constant field if the solutions are obtained in the absence of a cosmological constant term. So, a physically plausible wormhole solution is possible only in the presence of a $\Lambda$ term. In this paper, we try to construct a wormhole from tachyon matter with three $other$ geometries \textit{different} from the Ellis geometry and see whether it is possible to construct them successfully, besides checking whether the restrictions of the Ellis wormhole can be overcome with these geometries. Among others, we obtain one very interesting result that for all three of these geometries \textit{different} from the Ellis, the $\Lambda$ term is no longer an essential ingredient in constructing physically plausible traversable wormholes and the tachyon matter, capable of providing explanations for the "\textbf{dark sector}" of the universe,is itself sufficient for this purpose.
