Abstract
We unveil a novel class of traversable wormholes exhibiting exact spherical symmetry, geometrically inspired by the minimal surface structure of a catenoid. Introducing the spacetime metric, we rigorously derive its fundamental curvature properties, including the Riemann curvature tensor, and consequently compute the Einstein tensor and stress-energy tensor. This framework reveals that the wormhole is sustained by an anisotropic fluid. A detailed analysis of the energy conditions demonstrates the requisite presence of exotic matter, establishing the physical viability and constraints of this configuration. Subsequent investigations address the wormhole's traversability characteristics, gravitational lensing signatures, and dynamic stability. Crucially, we establish that this catenoid-inspired spacetime represents a finite wormhole, possessing bounded spatial extent.
