Collapse of a Wormhole and Its Transformation into Black Holes

Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Based on Khalatnikov’s ideas, we consider the physical processes that arise in the collapse of wormholes of different types. We emphasize that the physical processes during the collapse and their outcome depend significantly on the type of wormhole. We consider in detail how black holes arise in the collapse of wormholes.

Notes

  1. We used the scalar fields, because they could be spherically symmetric and, at the same time, be radiated.

  2. This term was introduced in [6] to denote the WHs whose tunnels are oriented in the time direction.

  3. In the Penrose–Carter diagram infinitely remote points and regions are transferred to finite distances using a coordinate transformation. For example, in Fig. 5, I0 is the spatial infinity, I+ and I– are the temporal infinities.

  4. Recall that we consider spherically symmetric models and Fig. 5 displays the radial structure of the models. They should be topologically multiplied by the angular part. Thus, the r+, 1, r–, and other lines are two-dimensional surfaces.
