Contribution
It presents the first explicit construction of stable traversable wormholes in this theory without exotic matter, including their domain of existence and stability analysis.
Findings
Wormholes satisfy a generalized Smarr relation.
A subset of wormholes are linearly stable under radial perturbations.
Wormholes exist without exotic matter in this theory.
Abstract
We construct traversable wormholes in dilatonic Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four spacetime dimensions, without needing any form of exotic matter. We determine their domain of existence, and show that these wormholes satisfy a generalised Smarr relation. We demonstrate linear stability with respect to radial perturbations for a subset of these wormholes.
