Investigation of wormhole dynamics

Project description

The central and most significant task of this project is the precision calculation of the spectrum and profile of gravitational waves emitted during the collapse of theoretical wormholes. This problem is solved using complex numerical modeling methods based on high-performance computing clusters using graphics accelerators (GPUs) and the GRTeclyn project software infrastructure. A fundamental feature of our problem statement is the setting of initial conditions without the involvement of exotic matter. In such conditions, a wormhole turns out to be unstable by definition, which inevitably initiates its gravitational collapse. The simulation describes in detail the highly dynamic evolution of pure space-time during this collapse, which determines the physical characteristics of the potential outgoing radiation.

Target outcome

The key result of the project will be a fundamental analysis of the spectrum of gravitational waves generated by this scenario. It is important to note that although the collapse process itself is inevitable in the absence of exotic matter, the fact that gravitational radiation is generated is not a priori proven. Thus, the primary research intrigue is the confirmation of the presence of a signal or a strict justification for the absence of radiation as such.
