Neutron star interiors and topology change

TL;DR

This paper explores how extreme conditions in neutron star centers could lead to a topology change, potentially forming wormholes, by modeling quark and ordinary matter interactions.

Contribution

It introduces a combined matter model to demonstrate the possibility of topology change and wormhole formation inside neutron stars.

Findings

Topology change can occur under neutron star core conditions.

Wormholes may form due to quark and ordinary matter interactions.

Extreme densities influence spacetime topology in neutron stars.

Abstract

Quark matter is believed to exist in the center of neutron stars. A combined model consisting of quark matter and ordinary matter is used to show that the extreme conditions existing in the center could result in a topology change, that is, in the formation of wormholes.
