Some special static, spherically symmetric wormhole solutions may exist if $f(Φ)$ is allowed to reach zero or to become negative, so that the effective gravitational constant becomes negative in some region making the graviton a ghost. If $f$ remains non-negative, such solutions require severe fine tuning and a very peculiar kind of model. If $f < 0$ is allowed, it is argued (and confirmed by previous investigations) that such solutions are generically unstable under non-static perturbations, the instability appearing right near transition surfaces to negative $f$.8 pages, latexGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
