Global Integrated Null Energy Contribution : Classification of Traversable Wormholes

Abstract

We argue that the local violation of null energy condition at the throat of a traversable wormhole does not necessarily indicate that the total volume integrated null energy contribution is negative. It is already known that it can be arbitrarily close to zero. We show that it can even be positive and use this argument to reconstruct a family of wormhole geometries. We also propose a novel classification of traversable wormholes based on the global volume integrated measure of null energy condition.
