Analysis of geometries with closed timelike curves

A. B. Pavan

摘要:

本文研究了具有封闭类时曲线的圆柱对称定常时空$\mathcal{C}_{t}$。得到了描述$\mathcal{C}_{t}$时空中有质量标量场演化的运动方程。本文详细研究了一类描述宇宙弦和圆柱的封闭类时曲线时空。在这样的时空中,质量粒子和光子都可以到达非因果区域。计算和研究了测地线和封闭类时曲线。我们已经观察到,大质量粒子和光子基本上描述了两种轨道:受限轨道和散射态。对光锥的分析清楚地向我们展示了在非因果区域内未来和过去之间的交叉点。给出了在宇宙弦和圆柱时空中传播的有质量标量场的运动方程的精确解。在静态和旋转的宇宙柱中计算了标量场的准正规模。我们发现在旋转的情况下,不稳定的模式。旋转和静止的宇宙弦,即,没有正则内部解,不显示标量场的拟正规模。最后,我们提出了一个猜想有关封闭的类时曲线和时空不稳定性。

英文摘要:

This work deals with the analysis of cylindrically symmetric and stationary space-times $\mathcal{C}_{t}$ with closed timelike curves. The equation of motion describing the evolution of a massive scalar field in a $\mathcal{C}_{t}$ space-time is obtained. A class of space-times with closed timelike curves describing cosmic strings and cylinders is studied in detail. In such space-times, both massive particles as well as photons can reach the non-causal region. Geodesics and closed timelike curves are calculated and investigated. We have observed that massive particles and photons describe, essentially, two kinds of trajectories: confined orbits and scattering states. The analysis of the light cones show us clearly the intersection between future and past inside the non-causal region. Exact solutions for the equation of motion of massive scalar field propagating in cosmic strings and cylinder space-times are presented. Quasinormal modes for the scalar field have been calculated in static and rotating cosmic cylinders. We found unstable modes in the rotating cases. Rotating as well as static cosmic strings, i.e., without regular interior solutions, do not display quasinormal modes for the scalar field. We conclude presenting a conjecture relating closed timelike curves and space-time instability.
