Abstract

We propose a procedure for calculating heat kernel coefficients and use it to derive the expression for any heat kernel coefficient Bi for an arbitrary profile of the throat. We give an explicit form of these coefficients up to B3. We study domains of possible existence of wormholes for different values of the throat length-to-radius ratio and a nonminimal coupling constant.
