静态Mallett时空中的测地线

Geodesics in the static Mallett spacetime

Ken D. Olum

摘要:

马利特展示了一个圆柱对称的时空,其中包含由围绕线奇点循环的光束产生的封闭的类时曲线。我分析通过将光的强度设为零而得到的静态时空。一些零测地线可以逃逸到无穷远,但是这个时空中的所有类时测地线都起源于奇点并终止于奇点。原本静止的自由落体物质迅速向内达到相对论速度,并在奇点处被摧毁。

英文摘要:

Mallett has exhibited a cylindrically symmetric spacetime containing closed timelike curves produced by a light beam circulating around a line singularity. I analyze the static version of this spacetime obtained by setting the intensity of the light to zero. Some null geodesics can escape to infinity, but all timelike geodesics in this spacetime originate and terminate at the singularity. Freely falling matter originally at rest quickly attains relativistic velocity inward and is destroyed at the singularity.
