Wormholes are tunnels connecting different regions in space-time. They were obtained originally as a solution for Einsteins General Relativity theory and according to this theory they need to be filled by an exotic kind of anisotropic matter. In the present sense, by exotic matter we mean matter that does not satisfy the energy conditions. In this article we propose the modelling of wormholes within an alternative gravity theory that proposes an extra material (rather than geometrical) term in its gravitational action. Our solutions are obtained from well-known particular cases of the wormhole metric potentials, named redshift and shape functions, and yield the wormholes to be filled by a phantom fluid, that is, a fluid with equation of state parameter $omega<-1$. In possession of the solutions for the wormhole material content, we also apply the energy conditions to them. The features of those are carefully discussed.

A possible candidate for the late time accelerated expanding Universe is phantom energy, which possesses rather bizarre properties, such as the prediction of a Big Rip singularity and the violation of the null energy condition. The latter is a fundamental ingredient of traversable wormholes, and it has been shown that phantom energy may indeed sustain these exotic geometries. Inspired by the evolving dark energy parameter crossing the phantom divide, we consider in this work a varying equation of state parameter dependent on the radial coordinate, i.e., $omega(r)=p(r)/rho(r)$. We shall impose that phantom energy is concentrated in the neighborhood of the throat, to ensure the flaring out condition, and several models are analyzed. We shall also consider the possibility that these phantom wormholes be sustained by their own quantum fluctuations. The energy density of the graviton one loop contribution to a classical energy in a phantom wormhole background and the finite one loop energy density are considered as a self-consistent source for these wormhole geometries. The latter semi-classical approach prohibits solutions with a constant equation of state parameter, which further motivates the imposition of a radial dependent parameter, $omega(r)$, and only permits solutions with a steep positive slope proportional to the radial derivative of the equation of state parameter, evaluated at the throat. The size of the wormhole throat as a function of the relevant parameters is also explored.
We present a traversable wormhole solution using the traceless $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity. In the $f(R,T)$ gravity, the Ricci scalar $R$ in the Einstein-Hilbert action is replaced by a function of $R$ and trace of the energy momentum tensor $T$. The traceless version of the $f(R,T)$ gravity gives rise to a possible wormhole geometry without need for exotic matter, which violates the principle of causality. Using a physically plausible ansatz for the wormholes shape function, the traceless field equations lead to compliance with the weak energy condition at very well defined intervals of the coupling constant $lambda$ in the $f(R,T)=R+2lambda T$ form. Our solution leads to other well-behaved energy conditions considering some possible values of the parameter $omega$ in the equation of state $p_r=omega rho$, with $p_r$ being the radial pressure and $rho $ the density. The energy conditions are obeyed in the ranges $lambda < -4pi$ and $omega > -1$. Through the calculation of the Volume Integral Quantifier, one sees that this wormholes can be traversable and respect the causality, since the amount of exotic matter in its interior can be arbitrarily small.
The present paper is aimed at the study of traversable wormholes in $f(R)$ gravity with a viable $f(R)$ function defined as $f(R)=R-mu R_cBig(frac{R}{R_c}Big)^p$, where $R$ is scalar curvature, $mu$, $R_c$ and $p$ are constants with $mu, R_c>0$ and $0<p<1$ citep{Amendola}. The metric of wormhole is dependent on shape function $b(r)$ and redshift function $phi(r)$ which characterize its properties, so the shape function and redshift function play an important role in wormhole modeling. In this work, the wormhole solutions are determined for (i) $phi(r)=frac{1}{r}$ and (ii) $phi(r)=c$ (constant) with $b(r)=frac{r}{exp(r-r_0)}$ citep{godani1}. Further, the regions respecting the energy conditions are investigated.
We study the time evolution of the test scalar and electromagnetic fields perturbations in configurations of phantom wormholes surrounded by dark energy with state parameter $omega< -1$. We observe obvious signals of echoes reflecting wormholes properties and disclose the physical reasons behind such phenomena. In particular, we find that the dark energy equation of state has a clear imprint in echoes in wave perturbations. When $omega$ approaches the phantom divide $omega=-1$ from below, the delay time of echoes becomes longer. The echo of gravitational wave is likely to be detected in the near future, the signature of the dark energy equation of state in the echo spectrum can serve as a local measurement of the dark energy.
The present paper is intended for studying the effect of strong gravitational lensing in the context of charged wormhole. To study this effect, the conditions determining the existence of photon spheres at and outside the throat are obtained. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of photon spheres at or outside the throat of the charged wormhole is derived. Furthermore, photon spheres are investigated in three cases for three different forms of redshift function. These three cases include the existence of effective photon spheres (i) at the throat, (ii) outside the throat and (iii) both at and outside the throat. Consequently, these provide the information about the formation of infinite number of concentric rings and may lead to the detection of wormhole geometries.
