Generalized models for black-bounce solutions in $f(R)$ Gravity

Abstract

In this article, the implementation of black-bounce solutions in $f(R)$ theories is investigated. Black-bounce solutions are regular configurations of the static spherically symmetric space-time, containing both black holes and wormholes structures. In General Relativity (GR), black-bounce solution implies violation of the energy conditions. We investigate the same issue in $f(R)$ theories using two strategies: first, supposing a given form for the $f(R)$ function and then determining the matter behavior; second, imposing a condition on the matter density and obtaining the resulting $f(R)$ function. In all cases, a given structure for the metric functions is supposed. Violation of the energy conditions still occur but they are less severe than in the corresponding GR cases. We propose a zero-density model that has horizons, which differs from the GR case. We also propose a model with positive energy density and show that $\rho +p_r>0$, which was not the case in GR.
