Once again on thin-shell wormholes in scalar-tensor gravity

It is proved that all thin-shell wormholes built from two identical regions of vacuum static, spherically symmetric spacetimes have a negative shell surface energy density in any scalartensor theory of gravity with a non-ghost massless scalar field and a non-ghost graviton. © 2009 World Scientific Publishing Company.
