Abstract

It has been recently claimed that dark matter could be in the form of a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in order to explain the dynamics at large distances from the galactic center (Boehmer and Harko, JCAP 0706:025, 2007). In this paper we explore the possibility of wormhole formation in galactic halos due to the dark matter BEC. In particular we have found a new wormhole solution supported by BEC dark matter using the expressions for the density profile of the BEC and rotation velocity along with the Einstein field equations to calculate the wormhole red shift function as well as the shape function. To this end, we show that for a specific choose of the central density of the condensates our wormhole solution satisfies the flare our condition. Furthermore we check the null, weak, and strong condition at the wormhole throat with a radius \(r_0\), and shown that in general the energy condition are violated by some arbitrary quantity at the wormhole throat. Using the volume integral quantifier, and choosing reasonable values of parameters we have calculate the amount of BEC exotic matter near the wormhole throat, such that the wormhole extends form \(r_0\) to a a cut off radius situated at ‘a’. Moreover we have introduced a Kerr-like metric for a rotating BEC wormhole to study the effect of BEC dark matter on the Lense–Thirring precession frequencies. Namely, we have shown that the obtained precession frequencies lie within a range of typical quasi-periodic oscillations.
