Traversable Hyperbolic Wormholes with a Casimir-Memory Source: Complexity and Shell-Free Matching
Abstract
Hyperbolically symmetric wormholes provide a setting in which negative energy densities arise from the throat geometry and finite matter configurations can be matched to the hyperbolic Schwarzschild vacuum. We construct such configurations from a matter-first perspective using an effective Casimir source corrected by a gravitational-memory contribution, ρ(r)=−α/r4+η/r7. The r−7 term is motivated by the persistent shift of the Casimir vacuum energy after a transient gravitational perturbation, while its promotion to a radial source is treated phenomenologically. The density determines the shape function, and the temporal geometry is fixed through complexity-based conditions. Full vanishing complexity, YTF=0, is first imposed and then relaxed through a one-parameter deformation, YTF=(p−3)r0/(2r3). Decomposing the complexity factor into local and throat contributions shows that local vanishing complexity occurs at p=β'(r0). At this value, besides the constant-redshift solution of the finite-r-derivative branch, a second lapse branch is regular in radial distance. We show that pressure-free Darmois matching in the finite-r-derivative family requires p<β'(r0), enforcing tangential null and strong-energy-condition violations at the throat throughout the matching domain. The density remains negative in the matter-supported region, implying weak- and dominant-energy-condition violations independently of the lapse branch. The memory parameter modifies the flare-out domain, redshift profile, and matching data, while finite pressure-free junctions permit smooth matching to the hyperbolic Schwarzschild vacuum without thin shells. The construction combines a memory-corrected Casimir source with a unified complexity framework in which the temporal sectors emerge as related branches of the same radial geometry.

AB - Hyperbolically symmetric wormholes provide a setting in which negative energy densities arise from the throat geometry and finite matter configurations can be matched to the hyperbolic Schwarzschild vacuum. We construct such configurations from a matter-first perspective using an effective Casimir source corrected by a gravitational-memory contribution, ρ(r)=−α/r^4+η/r^7. The r^−7 term is motivated by the persistent shift of the Casimir vacuum energy after a transient gravitational perturbation, while its promotion to a radial source is treated phenomenologically. The density determines the shape function, and the temporal geometry is fixed through complexity-based conditions. Full vanishing complexity, Y_TF=0, is first imposed and then relaxed through a one-parameter deformation, Y_TF=(p−3)r_0/(2r^3). Decomposing the complexity factor into local and throat contributions shows that local vanishing complexity occurs at p=β'(r_0). At this value, besides the constant-redshift solution of the finite-r-derivative branch, a second lapse branch is regular in radial distance. We show that pressure-free Darmois matching in the finite-r-derivative family requires p<β'(r_0), enforcing tangential null and strong-energy-condition violations at the throat throughout the matching domain. The density remains negative in the matter-supported region, implying weak- and dominant-energy-condition violations independently of the lapse branch. The memory parameter modifies the flare-out domain, redshift profile, and matching data, while finite pressure-free junctions permit smooth matching to the hyperbolic Schwarzschild vacuum without thin shells.
