Geometric structure of the generic static traversable wormhole throat
read the original abstract
Traversable wormholes have traditionally been viewed as intrinsically topological entities in some multiply connected spacetime. Here, we show that topology is too limited a tool to accurately characterize a generic traversable wormhole: in general one needs geometric information to detect the presence of a wormhole, or more precisely to locate the wormhole throat. For an arbitrary static spacetime we shall define the wormhole throat in terms of a 2-dimensional constant-time hypersurface of minimal area. (Zero trace for the extrinsic curvature plus a "flare-out" condition.) This enables us to severely constrain the geometry of spacetime at the wormhole throat and to derive generalized theorems regarding violations of the energy conditions-theorems that do not involve geodesic averaging but nevertheless apply to situations much more general than the spherically symmetric Morris-Thorne traversable wormhole. [For example: the null energy condition (NEC), when suitably weighted and integrated over the wormhole throat, must be violated.] The major technical limitation of the current approach is that we work in a static spacetime-this is already a quite rich and complicated system.

Traversable Wormhole De-singularization: Almost $\eta$-Ricci-Yamabe Solitons in Static Spherically Symmetric Imperfect Fluid Spacetimes
The paper argues that an almost η-Ricci-Yamabe soliton can turn a static black hole into a traversable wormhole, but the argument reduces to coordinate identities and an inconsistent horizon condition.

On black holes in new general relativity
All viable NGR models, including TEGR and 1P-H&S, exhibit divergences in torsion scalars at local horizons, obstructing black hole interpretations.
