Traversable wormholes satisfying energy conditions in $f(Q)$ gravity

Understand

In this article, a new family of asymptotically flat wormhole solutions in the context of symmetric teleparallel gravity, i.e., $f(Q)$ theory of gravity, are presented.

• Considering a power-law shape function and some different forms for $f(Q)$ function, we show that a wide variety of wormhole solutions for which the matter fields satisfy some energy conditions, are accessible.
• We explore that the presence of $f(Q)$ gravity will be enough to sustain a traversable wormhole without exotic matter.
• The influence of free parameters in shape function and $f(Q)$ models on the energy conditions is investigated.
