Dark matter influences on wormhole stability in de Rham–Gabadadze–Tolley like massive gravity by Jitendra Kumar, S. K. Maurya, Sweeti Kiroriwal

“…We also discuss the phenomena of the complexity factor for all wormhole models and conclude that it approaches zero for increasing values of the radial coordinate, indicating the homogeneity of the energy density and the isotropic behavior of the pressure. Moreover, the repulsive nature of these wormhole solutions, a critical characteristic for their possible traversability is revealed by our analysis of the anisotropy parameter.…”
