Characterizing a class of accelerating wormholes with periodic potential

Abstract: The newly discovered Wormhole C--metric is a solution of Einstein's field equation coupled with a phantom scalar field which describes the accelerated wormholes. In the zero acceleration limit the solution reduces to an asymptotically flat wormhole. For certain range of parameter space this solution doesn't possess any horizon, thus making it a viable candidate of wormhole. To completely unveil this property we have studied the topological properties of this spacetime and shown that the throat is marginally connected. In the aforementioned range of parameters, the spacetime doesn't posses any photon orbit confirming the absence of shadow. We further analysed the stability of this spacetime under scalar perturbation. Under the usual boundary conditions (outgoing waves at both spatial infinities) there exists a continuous spectra. On the contrary one may achieve the quantization of the modes by exploiting a different but physically intuitive boundary condition. The lowest lying mode behaves as normal mode, and the imaginary part comes into play for the modes corresponding to first overtone number $(n=1)$ marking the onset of quasi-nomral modes for all azimuthal quantum number, $L$. We have also argued that the spacetime has a tendency to hold the excitation in it due to the external perturbation, rather than a fast de-excitation.
