Wormhole solution in modified teleparallel-Rastall gravity and energy conditions

Abstract

The possibility of static and spherically symmetric traversable wormhole solution in modified teleparallel Rastall gravity (MTRG) in a non-diagonal tetrad is investigated. Rastall assumption modifies the field equations and energy-momentum conservation law. These modifications lead to different exact asymptotically flat traversable wormhole solutions. By imposing different constraints on modified energy-momentum conservation law, different exact solutions are found and the obtained results for teleparallel Rastall gravity (TRG), with specific choices of $f(T)$, are studied. It is shown that the Rastall parameters have a key role in these models and in all of those exact traversable wormhole solutions the null energy condition (NEC) and weak energy condition (WEC) of matter or energy which has surrounded the wormhole are valid at the throat of the wormhole and through the space time as well.
