Introduction Open Access Wormholes, short cuts between otherwise distant or unconnected regions of the universe, have become a popular research topic since the influential paper of Morris and Thorne [1]. Early work was reviewed in the book of Visser [2]. The Morris-Thorne (MT) study was restricted to static, spherically symmetric space-times, and initially there were various attempts to generalize the definition of wormhole by inserting time-dependent factors into the metric. According to the Einstein field equations, the MT wormhole needs an exotic matter (matter violating the null and weak energy conditions (NEC and WEC)) which holds up the wormhole structure and keeps the wormhole throat open. Sushkov [3] and Lobo [4] independently, have shown that phantom energy could well be the class of exotic matter which is required to support traversable wormholes. Recent astronomical data indicate that the universe could be dominated by a DOI: 10.4236/jhepgc.2017.34053 Oct. 23, 2017 708 Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology H. Saiedi fluid which violates the null energy condition [5] [6] [7]. Although, an exotic matter is responsible for the early-time inflation and late-time acceleration, the modified theory of gravity ( fR( ) gravity), which can explain the present acceleration without introducing an exotic matter, has received intense attention. The literature on fR( ) gravity is vast, and the earlier reviews on this theory are given in [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]. Since the discovery of black hole thermodynamics [13] [14] [15], physicists have been speculating that there should be some relationship between thermodynamics and Einstein equations. Jacobson is the first one who was able to derive Einstein equations from the proportionality of entropy to the horizon area of the black hole together with the first law of thermodynamics [16]. In the cosmological setup, Cai and his collaborators made the major development by showing that the Einstein field equations evaluated at the apparent horizon can also be expressed in the form of the first law of thermodynamics in various theories of gravity. This connection between gravity and thermodynamics has also been extended in the braneworld cosmology [17] [18]. All these indicate that the thermal interpretation of gravity is to be generic, so we investigate this relation for a more general spacetimes. The idea that wormholes may show some characteristics and properties which are parallel to those already found in black holes, seems to be quite natural, including in particular wormhole thermodynamics [19]. Also, the authors [20] have discussed wormhole thermodynamics at apparent horizons in Einstein gravity. 2. Thermodynamics of Time-Dependent Wormholes in fR( ) Gravity In this section, we generalize the thermodynamics of evolving wormholes within the modified fR( ) gravity. Hayward first introduced a formalism for defining thermal properties of black holes in terms of measurable quantities. This formalism also works for the dynamical black holes which consistently recover the results obtained by global considerations using the event horizon as in the static case. A fascinating and rather surprising feature emerges if one recognize that the static wormhole reveals thermodynamics properties analogous to the black holes if one considers the local quantities. It is important to note that the non-vanishing surface gravity at the wormhole throat characterized by a non-zero temperature for which one would expect that wormhole should emit some sort of thermal radiation. Let us start with the evolving wormhole metric [21] 2 2 2,Φ(tr) 2 2 dr 22 ds=− e d t + at( ) +Ω rd,2 (1) br( ) 1− r 2 2 22 where dΩ=2 dθ + sin θφ d is the line element of a two-dimensional unit sphere, at( ) is the scale factor of the universe, br( ) and Φ(tr, ) are the DOI: 10.4236/jhepgc.2017.34053 709 Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology H. Saiedi arbitrary shape and redshift functions of the evolving wormhole, respectively. We rewrite the spherically symmetric metric (1) in the following form (by considering Φ=(tr,0) ): 2 ab 22 ds= hab d x d x +Ω r d2 ,( ab , = 0,1) (2) where x01= tx, = r, and r = atr( ) represents the radius of the sphere while the two-dimensional metric hab is written as −1 2 br( ) hab =−− diag1, a( t) 1 . (3) r The surface gravity is defined as [22] [23] 1 ab κ = ∂−∂ab( hh r), (4) 2 −h where h is the determinant of metric hab (3). So, the surface gravity at the wormhole horizon rh can be written as r 1 κ =−++h 2 −′ (H2, H) 2 ( ab( r) rh b( r)) (5) 2 4rh where b′ =∂∂ br and the overdot denotes differentiation with respect to time. H= aa is the Hubble parameter. The horizon temperature is defined as Th = κ 2π . So r 1 =−++h 2 −′ Thh( H2.

Where pr ( tr, ) and pt ( tr, ) are the radial pressure and tangential pressure, respectively. Here for thermodynamical equilibrium, the temperature of the matter inside the horizon is assumed to be the same as on the horizon i.e. Th .

So, by combining Equations (10) and (13), one can easily reach the following equation for the variation of total entropy. 3 ρ′ 4πHrhhr TSh tot= T h( S I + S h ) =−32ρ ++pr p t + 3 a 2 ab( r) − r b′( r) rHh ( + 2 H) +−8π22rF h h 8πr 2 4π h (14) 2 ab( r) − r b′( r) rHh ( + 2 H) +−16π2rFh r hh8πr 2 4π h 2 ρ′ 4πrrhh +32ρ ++pprt + r h . 3 a 3. Thermodynamics at Event Horizon Now we shall find out the event horizon radius and then analyze the above equation for evolving wormholes.

In the fR( ) theory of gravity, the author and Nasr Esfahani [25] [26] have shown that the energy density (ρ (tr, )) , radial pressure ( pr ( tr, )) and tangential pressure ( pt ( tr, )) can be written as DOI: 10.4236/jhepgc.2017.34053 711 Journal of High Energy Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology H.
