abstract:
We compute the graviton one loop contribution to a classical energy in a traversable wormhole background. The form of the shape function considered is obtained by the equation of state p ωρ. We investigate the size of the wormhole as a function of the parameter ω. The investigation is evaluated by means of a variational approach with Gaussian trial wave functionals. A zeta function regularization is involved to handle with divergences. A renormalization procedure is introduced and the finite one loop energy is considered as a self-consistent source for the traversable wormhole. The case of the phantom region is briefly discussed.
