Wormholes are hypothetical tunnels that connect remote parts of spacetime. In General Relativity, wormholes are threaded by exotic matter that violates the energy conditions. In this work, we consider wormholes threaded by nonexotic matter in nonminimal torsion-matter coupling $f(T)$ gravity. We find that the nonminimal torsion-matter coupling can indeed hold the wormhole open. However, from geometric point of view, for the wormhole to have asymptotic flatness, the coupling matter density must falloff rapidly at large radius, otherwise the physical wormhole must be finite due to either change of metric signature or lack of valid embedding. On the other hand, the matter source supporting the wormhole can satisfy the null energy condition only in the neighborhood of the throat of the wormhole. Therefore, the wormhole in the underlying model has finite sizes and cannot stretch to the entire spacetime.

Using the observation data of SNeIa, CMB and BAO, we establish two concrete $f(T)$ models with nonminimal torsion-matter coupling extension. We study in detail the cosmological implication of our models and find they are successful in describing the observation of the Universe, its large scale structure and evolution. In other words, these models do not change the successful aspects of $Lambda$CDM scenario under the error band of fitting values as describing the evolution history of the Universe including radiation-dominated era, matter-dominated era and the present accelerating expansion. Meanwhile, the significant advantage of these models is that they could avoid the cosmological constant problem of $Lambda$CDM. A joint analysis is performed by using the data of CMB+BAO+JLA, which leads to $Omega_{m0}=0.255pm 0.010, Omega_{b0}h^2=0.0221pm 0.0003$ and $H_0=68.54pm 1.27$ for model I and $Omega_{m0}=0.306pm 0.010, Omega_{b0}h^2=0.0225pm 0.0003$ and $H_0=60.97pm 0.44$ for model II at 1$sigma$ confidence level. The evolution of the decelaration parameter $q(a)$ and the effective equation of state $w_{DE}(a)$ are displayed. Furthermore, The resulted age of the Universe from our models is consistent with the ages of the oldest globular clusters. As for the fate of the Universe, model I results in a de Sitter accelerating phase while model II appears a power-law one, even though $w_{DE0}< -1$ makes model I look like a phantom at present time.
In the previous paper, we have constructed two $f(T)$ models with nonminimal torsion-matter coupling extension, which are successful in describing the evolution history of the Universe including the radiation-dominated era, the matter-dominated era, and the present accelerating expansion. Meantime, the significant advantage of these models is that they could avoid the cosmological constant problem of $Lambda$CDM. However, the nonminimal coupling between matter and torsion will affect the tests of Solar system. In this paper, we study the effects of Solar system in these models, including the gravitation redshift, geodetic effect and perihelion preccesion. We find that Model I can pass all three of the Solar system tests. For Model II, the parameter is constrained by the measure of the perihelion precession of Mercury.
The currently accelerated expansion of our Universe is unarguably one of the most intriguing problems in todays physics research. Two realistic non-minimal torsion-matter coupling $f(T)$ models have been established and studied in our previous papers [Phys. Rev. D92, 104038(2015) and Eur. Phys. J. C77, 504(2017)] aiming to explain this dark energy problem. In this paper, we study the generalized power-law torsion-matter coupling $f(T)$ model. Dynamical system analysis shows that the three expansion phases of the Universe, i.e. the radiation dominated era, the matter dominated era and the dark energy dominated era, can all be reproduced in this generalized model. By using the statefinder and $Om$ diagnostics, we find that the different cases of the model can be distinguished from each other and from other dark energy models such as the two models in our previous papers, $Lambda$CDM, quintessence and Chaplygin gas. Furthermore, the analyses also show that all kinds of generalized power-law torsion-matter coupling model are able to cross the $w=-1$ divide from below to above, thus the decrease of the energy density resulting from the crossing of $w$ will make the catastrophic fate of the Universe avoided and a de Sitter expansion fate in the future will be approached.
In this work we propose the modelling of static wormholes within the $f(R,T)$ extended theory of gravity perspective. We present some models of wormholes, which are constructed from different hypothesis for their matter content, i.e., different relat ions for their pressure components (radial and lateral) and different equations of state. The solutions obtained for the shape function of the wormholes obey the necessary metric conditions. They show a behaviour similar to those found in previous references about wormholes, which also happens to our solutions for the energy density of such objects. We also apply the energy conditions for the wormholes physical content.
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.
