关于闭类时曲线的逆旋转

On the Counter-Rotation of Closed Timelike Curves

Yuanyuan Duan, Fangxun Liu, Yu Wang, Yen Chin Ong

摘要:

虽然人们很容易认为旋转物体(如黑洞)周围的封闭类时曲线(CTC)是由源的旋转“引起”的,但Andréka等人指出,基本的物理学并不那么简单,因为这种CTC是“反向旋转”的,即,CTC的时间取向(局部光锥的开口)与奇点或能层旋转的方向相反。还有人认为,这是一种普遍现象,需要更深入的直观物理理解。在这篇短文中,我们以克尔-陶布-NUT为例指出,CTC相对于时空的局部角速度是反向旋转的,这使得CTC由旋转源“引起”的物理解释更加成问题。

英文摘要:

While it is tempting to think of closed timelike curves (CTCs) around rotating bodies such as a black hole as being "caused" by the rotation of the source, Andréka et al. pointed out that the underlying physics is not as straightforward since such CTCs are "counter-rotating", i.e., the time orientation (the opening of the local light cones) of the CTCs is opposite to the direction in which the singularity or the ergosphere rotates. It was also suggested that this is a generic phenomenon that calls for a deeper intuitive physical understanding. In this short note we point out -- with Kerr-Taub-NUT as an example -- that CTCs are counter-rotating with respect to the local angular velocity of the spacetime, which makes a physical interpretation of CTCs being "caused" by a rotating source even more problematic.
