Contribution
It presents a novel higher-dimensional wormhole solution supported by phantom energy with controllable ANEC violation based on scalar fields with negative kinetic terms.
Findings
ANEC violation can be minimized as desired
Spacetime dimension influences the amount of phantom energy needed
New scalar field-based wormhole models are proposed
Abstract
We provide a new model of higher dimensional wormholes supported by phantom energy derived from a scalar field with negative kinetic term. We have shown that the Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) violating phantom energy can be reduced as desired. We have also noticed that dimension of the spacetime plays a crucial role for measuring the ANEC violating matter needed.
