Closed Timelike Curves in Flat Lorentz Spacetimes
We consider the region of closed timelike curves (CTC’s) in three-dimensional flat Lorentz spacetimes. The interest in this global geometrical feature goes beyond the purely mathematical. Such spacetimes may be considered lower-dimensional toy models of sourceless Einstein gravity or cosmology. In three dimensions all such spacetimes are known: they are quotients of Minkowski space by a suitabl...

Three simple examples illustrate properties of path integral amplitudes in fixed background spacetimes with closed timelike curves: non-relativistic potential scatter
متن کاملCylindrically symmetric spinning Brans-Dicke spacetimes with closed timelike curves
We present here three new solutions of Brans-Dicke theory for a stationary geometry with cylindrical symmetry in the presence of matter in rigid rotation with T μ 6= 0. All the solutions have eternal closed timelike curves in some region of spacetime the size of which depends on ω. Moreover, two of them do not go over a solution of general relativity in the limit ω → ∞. PACS number(s): 04.50+h,...
متن کاملTesting causality violation on spacetimes with closed timelike curves
Generalized quantum mechanics is used to examine a simple two-particle scattering experiment in which there is a bounded region of closed timelike curves (CTCs) in the experiment’s future. The transitional probability is shown to depend on the existence and distribution of the CTCs. The effect is therefore acausal, since the CTCs are in the experiment’s causal future. The effect is due to the n...
متن کاملClosed Timelike Curves
In this paper, we explore the possibility that closed timelike curves might be allowed by the laws of physics. A closed timelike curve is perhaps the closest thing to time travel that general relativity allows. We will begin our discussing just what closed timelike curves are, and in what kinds of contexts they were first shown to appear. We then explore how one might actually travel on a close...
