Wormholes supported by a combination of normal and quintessential matter
in Einstein and Einstein-Maxwell gravity    [PDF]

Peter K. F. Kuhfittig

It is shown in the first part of this paper that a combined model comprising ordinary and quintessential matter can support a traversable wormhole in Einstein-Maxwell gravity. Since the solution allows zero tidal forces, the wormhole is suitable for a humanoid traveler. The second part of the paper shows that the electric field can be eliminated provided that enormous tidal forces are tolerated. Such a wormhole would still be capable of transmitting signals.
