TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the static spherically symmetric solutions to the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation give rise either to a naked singularity or to a post Newtonian parameter γ 1.

Wormhole geometries in f(R) modified theories of gravity

TL;DR: This work imposes that the matter threading the wormhole satisfies the energy conditions, so that it is the effective stress-energy tensor containing higher order curvature derivatives that is responsible for the null energy condition violation.

Gravitational lensing by wormholes

TL;DR: Gravitational lensing by traversable Lorentzian wormholes is analyzed in this paper in the strong field limit. Wormhole solutions are considered in the Einstein minimally coupled theory and in the brane world model.

Traversable wormholes from massless conformally coupled scalar fields

TL;DR: The massless conformally coupled scalar field is characterized by the so-called "new improved stress-energy tensor" which is capable of classically violating the null energy condition as mentioned in this paper.

Static spherically symmetric wormholes in f(R, T) gravity

TL;DR: In this article, a static spherically symmetric geometry with matter contents as anisotropic, isotropic, and barotropic fluids in three separate cases was considered, and it was shown that the wormhole solutions are realistic and stable in this theory of gravity.

Notes on wormhole existence in scalar-tensor and F(R) gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that there are no vacuum wormhole solutions of the Brans-Dicke theory with zero potential and the coupling constant ω > −3/2, except for the case ω = 0; in the latter case, G ≥ 0 in the region beyond the throat.
