Traversable Wormhole in <i>f</i>(<i>Q</i>) Gravity Using Conformal Symmetry

Abstract

In the current study, we investigate the possible existence of new wormhole solutions within f(Q) gravity by using the conformal symmetry, where Q is a non-metricity scalar. Modified versions of field equations within the scope of conformal symmetry with an anisotropic source of matter are calculated using the variational approach. We consider two distinct approaches, namely the linear equation of state and traceless fluid, in order to determine the exact form of the shape function for wormhole geometry. In the context of the f(Q) modified theory of gravity, we present a set of exact solutions for describing the existence of a relativistic wormhole. Further, the presence of dark matter is checked through make a use of energy conditions. In conclusion, it is interesting to mention that the presence of exotic matter is confirmed for both approaches, such as linear equation of state and traceless fluid.
