Traversable wormholes: Some simple examples
read the original abstract
Building on the work of Morris, Thorne, and Yurtsever, some particularly simple examples of traversable wormholes are exhibited. These examples are notable both because the analysis is not limited to spherically symmetric cases, and because it is possible to in some sense minimize the use of exotic matter. In particular, it is possible for a traveller to traverse such a wormhole without passing through a region of exotic matter. As in previous analyses, the weak energy condition is violated in these traversable wormholes.

Linearized stability of T-duality quantum-inspired thin-shell wormholes
Thin-shell wormholes in T-duality quantum-corrected regular spacetimes exhibit an intermediate-radius window of unconditional stability absent in the classical Schwarzschild case.

Holographic dark energy as a source for slowly rotating wormholes: Implications for null geodesics and shadows
Slowly rotating wormholes in Rényi, mixed, and Moradpour holographic dark energy produce distinct photon orbits and shadow morphologies, with Rényi models yielding smaller asymmetric shadows.

Cosmic Strings as Dynamical Dark Energy: Novel Constraints
Cosmic string networks are constrained to less than ~1% of the energy density using CMB+BAO+SN data, with some models preferring mildly negative densities but no Bayesian evidence favoring them over LambdaCDM.
