Probing the existence of wormhole solutions in f(Q,T) gravity with conformal symmetry

Abstract

This study presents novel and physically plausible wormhole solutions within the framework of $f(Q,T)$ gravity theory, incorporating conformal symmetries. The investigation explores the feasibility of traversable wormholes under diverse scenarios, considering traceless, anisotropic, and barotropic equations of state. Additionally, the influence of model parameters on the existence and characteristics of these wormhole structures is thoroughly examined. Notably, the derived shape function satisfies all the necessary criteria. Furthermore, in one of the cases, the presence of non-exotic fluid is confirmed, while in others, exotic matter is only required near the wormhole throat.
