物理的和稳定的闭类时曲线

Physical and Stable Closed Timelike Curves

Chiu Man Ho, Thomas J. Weiler

摘要:

利用紧化额外维数$u$构造了一类闭类时曲线.非零度量元素$g_{tu}(u)$使粒子能够在全球时间$t$中向后行进。紧化维数保证测地线在$u$中闭合。度规的有效二维($t$和$u$)性质确保了时空是平坦的,其中满足所有由能量条件表示的经典稳定性条件。最后,度规的平稳性保证了粒子的能量守恒。困扰许多假设的CTC指标的病理,例如物质的无限圆柱体,负能量分布,沿着CTC的粒子加速/蓝移,不会发生在我们的指标类中。

英文摘要:

We construct a class of closed timelike curves (CTCs) using a compactified extra dimension $u$. A nonzero metric element $g_{tu}(u)$ enables particles to travel backwards in global time $t$. The compactified dimension guarantees that the geodesic curve closes in $u$. The effective 2D ($t$ and $u$) nature of the metric ensures that spacetime is flat, therein satisfying all the classical stability conditions as expressed by the energy conditions. Finally, stationarity of the metric guarantees that a particle's energy is conserved. The pathologies that plague many hypothesized metrics admitting CTCs, e.g. an infinite cylinder of matter, a negative energy-distribution, particle acceleration/blue-shifting along the CTC, do not occur within our metric class.
