Traversable Wormholes in (2+1) and (3+1) Dimensions with a Cosmological Constant

Abstract

Macroscopic traversable wormhole solutions to Einstein's field equations in $(2+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensions with a cosmological constant are investigated. Ensuring traversability severely constrains the material used to generate the wormhole's spacetime curvature. Although the presence of a cosmological constant modifies to some extent the type of matter permitted (for example it is possible to have a positive energy density for the material threading the throat of the wormhole in $(2+1)$ dimensions), the material must still be ``exotic'', that is matter with a larger radial tension than total mass-energy density multiplied by $c^2$. Two specific solutions are applied to the general cases and a partial stability analysis of a $(2+1)$ dimensional solution is explored.
