Abstract
We construct thin shell Lorentzian wormholes in higher dimensional Einstein–Maxwell theory applying the ‘Cut and Paste’ technique proposed by Visser. The linearized stability is analyzed under radial perturbations around some assumed higher dimensional spherically symmetric static solution of the Einstein field equations in presence of Electromagnetic field. We determine the total amount of exotic matter, which is concentrated at the wormhole throat.
