<p class="gmail-p1" style="margin:0px;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Abstract:<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="gmail-p3" style="margin:0px;text-align:justify;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;font-family:Helvetica;color:rgb(0,0,0)">One of the most fascinating features of Einstein’s theory of General Relativity (GR) consists in the fact that spacetime may be curved and topologically nontrivial, describing intriguing objects like black holes and wormholes, that is, spacetime structures that link together two separate universes. In contrast to black holes, the occurrence of wormholes is speculative, and so far, there is no observational evidence for the existence of such structures; however, their existence is in accordance with GR, provided the introduction of “exotic” matter to support the throat, that is, matter whose stress-energy-momentum tensor violates the (averaged) null energy condition. One possibility to obtain such a behaviour is to consider phantom scalar fields, i.e., scalar fields that have a negative kinetic energy. At this point, a pressing question regarding the relevance of static wormholes in GR concerns their dynamical stability under small perturbations.</p>

This general method is then applied to some wormhole families, showing their linear instability.<span class="gmail-s1" style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:11px;line-height:normal"><span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
