Abstract

Wormholes are speculative structures linking disparate space-time points. Their geometry can be obtained by solving Einstein equations with tolerating the violation of null energy conditions. Recently, many researchers have studied different wormholes according to different criteria, and they achieved remarkable results. In this paper, we investigate a series of exact solutions of the static wormhole with smeared mass source geometry in modified $f(R)$ gravity theories. In fact, we consider the Lorentzian density distribution which is coming from a particle-like source. To be more specific, the modified gravity models we consider here are some power laws. We compute resulting solutions according to the wormhole field equations. We also specify parameters such as the radial pressure and transverse pressure as well as various energy conditions such as null energy conditions, weak energy conditions and strong energy conditions. Finally, by plotting some figures, in addition to identifying the wormhole throat, we describe the results of either the violation or the satisfaction of the energy conditions completely.
