Asymmetric wormholes in Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity: Energy conditions, absorption and quasibound states

Abstract

We investigate the absorption properties of reflection-asymmetric wormholes constructed via the thin-shell formalism in Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity. Such wormholes come from the matching of two Reissner-Nordström spacetimes at a time-like hypersurface (shell), which, according to the junction conditions in Palatini $f(\mathcal{R})$ gravity, can have positive or negative energy density. Using numerical methods we investigate several configurations that satisfy the junction conditions, and analyze how the parameters of the system affect the absorption spectra. We confirm that the absorption cross section of wormholes at low frequencies significantly departs from that of black holes, and observe that in configurations made out of two naked singularities, the absorption spectra exhibit new features due to the effective light ring associated to the wormhole throat. The possibility of observing the presence of resonances at high frequencies is also discussed.
