Wormholes and solitonic shells in five-dimensional DGP theory

We build five-dimensional spherically symmetric wormholes within the DGP theory. We calculate the energy localized on the shell, and we find that the wormholes could be supported by matter not violating the energy conditions. We also show that solitonic shells characterized by zero pressure and zero...

description We build five-dimensional spherically symmetric wormholes within the DGP theory. We calculate the energy localized on the shell, and we find that the wormholes could be supported by matter not violating the energy conditions. We also show that solitonic shells characterized by zero pressure and zero energy can exist; thereafter we make some observations regarding their dynamic on the phase plane. In addition, we concentrate on the mechanical stability of wormholes under radial perturbation preserving the original spherical symmetry.

We obtain that for certain values of the mass parameter μ and the crossover scale rc stable wormholes exist with very small values of squared speed sound.
