Abstract

In this paper we consider wormhole solutions for the action of ‘‘special Lovelock gravity’’ recently discussed by Banados, Teitelboim, and Zanelli. This action is, in odd dimensions, the Chern-Simons form for the anti–de Sitter group and, in even dimensions, the Euler density constructed with the Lorentz part of the anti–de Sitter curvature tensor. We present a systematic study of classical wormhole solutions in the special Lovelock theory with various matter content, including a perfect fluid energy-momentum tensor, axionic field, and conformal scalar field.
