We begin by analyzing the noninteracting Y-M Casimir wormholes, initially considering an arbitrary state parameter omega and determine a simple constant wormhole shape function. Next, we introduce a new methodology for deforming the state parameter to find well-behaved redshift functions. The wormhole can be interpreted as a legitimate Casimir wormhole with an expected average state parameter of omega = 2. Then, we investigate the wormhole curvature properties, energy conditions, and stability. Furthermore, we discover a novel family of traversable wormhole solutions sourced by the quantum vacuum fluctuations of interacting Yang-Mills fields with a more complex shape function. Deforming the effective state parameter similarly, we obtain well-behaved redshift functions and traversable wormhole solutions. Finally, we examine the energy conditions and stability of solutions in the interacting scenario and compare to the noninteracting case.", optnote="WOS:001196198800004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=6031), last updated on Wed, 10 Apr 2024 06:35:02 +0000", issn="1475-7516", doi="10.1088/1475-7516/2023/09/022", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.11131", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2023/09/022", language="English" }
