Validation of energy conditions in traversable wormhole for GBD modified theory

    In this work, we explore the wormhole physics in a modified gravitational theory, called the generalized Brans–Dicke theory (GBD). In order to solve the equations in this theory, the parameterized forms for the shape function and the scalar-field function are taken. With the help of selecting a specific form of state equation, i.e. considering a relation between the transverse pressure (not the total pressure) and the energy density for matter that threads wormhole: pt=αρ=ρ, we provide some special solutions of the traversable wormhole in GBD. Given that the violation of energy conditions (ECs) of matter often induces problems on the gravitational theory, it is important to inspect the ECs of matter in modified theories. In this GBD theory, we find that the weak energy condition, the null energy condition, the dominated energy condition and the strong energy condition could be satisfied for the matter near the throat of wormhole, depending on the parameterized models and the model-parameters values. Finally, using the classical reconstruction technique in the traversable wormhole physics, we derive a Lagrangian function of gravitational field for the GBD theory.
