Thin-shell wormholes in cosmic voids

Abstract
Cosmic voids are underdense regions that can provide an effective large-scale environment with a de Sitter-like gravitational behavior. Motivated by recent black-hole solutions embedded in void density profiles, we construct a symmetric thin-shell wormhole by gluing two copies of the positive-lapse region of a black hole inside a cosmic void. The surface stresses are obtained from the Darmois--Israel junction conditions, and the corresponding null, weak, dominant, and strong energy-condition combinations are written directly in terms of the void mass function and density profile. We further develop the thermodynamics of the static shell, deriving a first law that relates the shell entropy to the black-hole and cosmological-like horizon entropies. We then formulate the radial dynamics of the throat through an effective potential and study the local stability of static configurations when the exotic matter on the shell obeys either a generalized cosmic Chaplygin gas or a modified cosmic Chaplygin gas equation of state. In both models the Chaplygin parameter is fixed by the static junction condition, so that the remaining stability test is governed by the void geometry and by the equation-of-state parameters. Numerical results reveal that GCCG-supported configurations are generically unstable, whereas MCCG-supported wormholes can be stable for a sufficiently large linear term in the equation of state. The resulting framework connects the de Sitter-like structure of cosmic voids with the standard thin-shell wormhole formalism and provides a starting point for identifying stable or unstable wormhole configurations located between the black-hole and cosmological-like horizons of the void spacetime.
