Stationary Solutions and Closed Time-like Curves in 2+1 Dimensional Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We give the general solution of the stationary problem of 2+1 dimensional gravity in presence of extended sources, also endowed with angular momentum. We solve explicitly the compact support property of the energy momentum tensor and we apply the results to the study of closed time-like curves. In the case of rotational symmetry we prove that the weak energy condition combined with the absence of closed time-like curves at space infinity prevents the existence of closed time-like curves everywhere in an open universe (conical space at infinity).

Closed Time like Curves and the Energy Condition in 2+1 Dimensional Gravity
We consider gravity in 2+1 dimensions in presence of extended stationary sources with rotational symmetry. We prove by direct use of Einstein’s equations that if i) the energy momentum tensor satisfies the weak energy condition, ii) the universe is open (conical at space infinity), iii) there are no CTC at space infinity, then there are no CTC at all. The problem of closed time like curves (CTC...
متن کاملEnergy-momentum restrictions on the creation of Gott time machines.
The discovery by Gott of a remarkably simple spacetime with closed timelike curves (CTC’s) provides a tool for investigating how the creation of time machines is prevented in classical general relativity. The Gott spacetime contains two infinitely long, parallel cosmic strings, which can equivalently be viewed as point masses in (2+1)-dimensional gravity. We examine the possibility of building ...
متن کاملNegative energy densities in extended sources generating closed timelike curves in general relativity with and without torsion.
Near a spinning point particle in (2+1)-dimensional gravity (or near an infinitely thin, straight, spinning string in 3+1 dimensions) there is a region of space-time with closed timelike curves. Exact solutions for extended sources with apparently physically acceptable energy-momentum tensors, have produced the same exterior space-time structure. Here it is pointed out that in the case with tor...

We apply CGHS-type dilaton gravity model to (1+1)-dimensional cosmological situations. First the behavior of a compact 1-dimensional universe (i.e. like a closed string) is classified on the assumption of homogeneity of universe. Several interesting solutions are found, which include a Misner-type universe having closed time-like curves, and an asymptotically de Sitter universe first pointed ou...
متن کاملChronology protection in two-dimensional dilaton gravity.
The global structure of 1 + 1 dimensional compact Universe is studied in two-dimensional model of dilaton gravity. First we give a classical solution corresponding to the spacetime in which a closed time-like curve appears, and show the instability of this spacetime due to the existence of matters. We also observe quantum version of such a spacetime having closed timelike curves never reappear ...
