Charged multi-sheet wormhole solutions

Abstract

We construct charged wormhole solutions with an even number of asymptotically flat regions in the four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-massless phantom scalar system via the Harrison transformation. The solutions are characterized by five parameters: the mass $M$, the electric charge $Q_{\mathrm{e}}$, the magnetic charge $Q_{\mathrm{m}}$, the scalar charge $P$ and the number of sheets $2n$. The regularity condition then determines the throat radius. Although the Harrison transformation directly generates the solutions only in the parameter region $Q_{\mathrm{e}}^2+Q_{\mathrm{m}}^2<M^2$, we show that regular solutions exist in a wider parameter region beyond this bound. In addition, we introduce a spheroidal coordinate system that covers one complete asymptotically flat region and its adjacent ones, and allows the solution to be expressed in a simple form.
