我们研究了五维爱因斯坦-陈-西蒙斯（Einstein-Chern-Simons，EChS）引力中的可穿越虫洞解，EChS引力是广义相对论的一种规范理论扩展，引入了由组合$αl^2$参数化的高阶曲率修正，其中$α$为无量纲耦合常数，$l$为长度标度。采用Morris-Thorne度规和各向异性流体，我们推导了虫洞喉道处能量密度、径向压强和横向压强的精确表达式。我们证明，喉道处的径向零能量条件（Null Energy Condition，NEC）当且仅当$αl^2\leq-r_0^2$时成立，在$αl^2=-r_0^2$时取等号，在$αl^2<-r_0^2$时严格成立，且该结论与形状函数无关。在后一区间内，能量密度严格为正，且完整NEC、弱能量条件、强能量条件和主能量条件可同时满足。这些结果对任意形状函数均通过解析方式确立，并通过幂律族$b(r)=r_0(r_0/r)^n$、$Φ=0$的情况进行了具体说明：当EChS耦合足够负时，对所有$n>0$，喉道处均满足全部四种标准能量条件。我们进一步证明，喉道处的径向压强为负且由几何固定，与$α$、$b(r)$和$Φ(r)$均无关。利用体积积分量化子（Volume Integral Quantifier，VIQ），我们证实EChS修正相较于广义相对论减小了负积分NEC贡献的大小，并推导了VIQ为零时的精确闭式临界耦合$αl^2_{\rm crit}$。层级关系$αl^2_{\rm crit}<-r_0^2<0$表明，喉道处的NEC满足性与非负全局VIQ是相容但不同的条件，二者均可在EChS引力中实现。所有结果在$l\to0$的极限下连续退化为广义相对论的结果，证实了该框架的自洽性。
英文摘要
We investigate traversable wormhole solutions in five-dimensional Einstein-Chern-Simons (EChS) gravity, a gauge-theoretic extension of General Relativity that introduces a higher-curvature correction parametrized by the combination $αl^2$, where $α$ is a dimensionless coupling and $l$ is a length scale. Working with the Morris-Thorne metric and an anisotropic fluid, we derive exact expressions for the energy density, radial pressure, and lateral pressure at the wormhole throat. We show that the radial Null Energy Condition (NEC) is satisfied at the throat if and only if $αl^2\leq-r_0^2$, being saturated at $αl^2=-r_0^2$ and strictly satisfied for $αl^2<-r_0^2$, independently of the shape function. In the latter regime, the energy density is strictly positive and the full NEC, Weak, Strong, and Dominant Energy Conditions can be simultaneously satisfied. These results are established analytically for arbitrary shape functions and illustrated concretely for the power-law family $b(r)=r_0(r_0/r)^n$, $Φ=0$, for which all four standard energy conditions are satisfied at the throat for all $n>0$ when the EChS coupling is sufficiently negative. We further show that the radial pressure is negative and geometrically fixed at the throat, independently of $α$, $b(r)$, and $Φ(r)$. Using the Volume Integral Quantifier (VIQ), we establish that the EChS correction reduces the magnitude of the negative integrated NEC contribution relative to GR, and derive an exact closed-form critical coupling $αl^2_{\rm crit}$ at which the VIQ vanishes. The hierarchy $αl^2_{\rm crit}<-r_0^2<0$ shows that NEC satisfaction at the throat and a non-negative global VIQ are compatible but distinct conditions, both achievable within EChS gravity. All results reduce continuously to those of GR in the limit $l\to0$, confirming the consistency of the framework.
