Abstract

We investigate a new thin-shell wormhole constructed by surgically grafting two regular charged black holes arising from the action using nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity. The stress-energy components within the shell violate the null and weak energy conditions but obey the strong energy condition. Several other aspects of this thin-shell wormhole are also analyzed. The most important finding is that the presence of a charge is essential for producing a thin-shell wormhole that is stable to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations about a static equilibrium solution. The precise conditions depend on various properties of the black hole.
