BTZ Black-Bounce to Traversable Wormhole
J. Furtado, Geová Alencar
Abstract
In this paper, we study the charged and uncharged BTZ counterpart of the black-bounce proposed by Simpson and Visser recently. For the uncharged case, we find that the temperature is not modified by the bounce parameter. We also find that the wormhole side of the solution must always be supported by exotic matter over the throat. For the charged case, we find that the thermodynamics is changed and the bounce parameter controls a phase transition, affecting the sign of the heat capacity and therefore the stability of the system. For the uncharged case, we find that there are no stable orbits for both massive and massless incoming particles, while stable orbits are present for the charged case and the bounce parameter affects the points of stability.
