It is shown that Einstein-Rosen bridges (wormholes)—hypothetical objects that topologically connect separate locations in the Universe—can be static solutions of the Einstein equations. The corresponding equations for bridges are reduced to a form convenient for their analysis and numerical solution. The matter forming the bridge must have a sufficiently hard and anisotropic equation of state. Our results are compared with a previously known analytic solution for a bridge, which is a special case of the general solution in the framework of general relativity. The deflection of photons by the bridge (gravitational lensing) is studied.
