A note on the stability of Morris-Thorne wormholes

Abstract

Two critical issues in the study of Morris-Thorne wormholes concerns the stability of such structures, as well as their compatibility with quantum field theory. This note discusses an important subset characterized by zero tidal forces. It is shown that such wormholes (1) are in stable equilibrium using a criterion based on the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation and (2) are not in direct conflict with quantum field theory.
