Stable wormholes in scalar-tensor theories

Stable wormholes in scalar-tensor theories

Abstract We reconsider the issue of whether scalar-tensor theories can admit stable wormhole configurations supported by a non-trivial radial profile for the scalar field. Using a recently proposed effective theory for perturbations around static, spherically symmetric backgrounds, we show that scal...
