Description
Summary:A one-parameter family of static and spherically symmetric solutions to Einstein equations with a traceless energy-momentum tensor is found. When the nonzero parameter \(\beta\) lies in the open interval \((0,1)\) one obtains traversable Lorentzian wormholes. One also obtains naked singularities when either \(\beta < 0\) or \(\beta > 1\) and the Schwarzschild black hole for \(\beta = 1\).
