Traversable Thin-shell Wormhole in the Novel 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Theory


Abstract in English

We construct the thin-shell wormhole solutions of novel four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet model and study their stability under radial linear perturbations. For positive Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant, the stable thin-shell wormhole can only be supported by exotic matter. For negative enough Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant, in asymptotic flat and AdS spacetime, there exists stable neutral thin-shell wormhole with normal matter which has finite throat radius. In asymptotic dS spacetime, there is no stable neutral thin-shell wormhole with normal matter. The charged thin-shell wormholes with normal matter exist in both flat, AdS and dS spacetime. Their throat radius can be arbitrarily small. However, when the charge is too large, the stable thin-shell wormhole can be supported only by exotic matter.
