Quantum coherence and closed timelike curves [PDF]
Various calculations of the $S$ matrix have shown that it seems to be non unitary for interacting fields when there are closed timelike curves. It is argued that this is because there is loss of quantum coherence caused by the fact that part of the quantum state circulates on the closed timelike curves and is not measured at infinity. A prescription is

Quantum avoidance of Gödel’s closed timelike curves
AbstractIn a large class of nonlocal as well as local higher derivative theories minimally coupled to the matter sector, we investigate the exactness of two different classes of homogeneous Gödel-type solutions, which may or may not allow closed time-like curves (CTC).

Transversal Intersection Curves of Two Surfaces in Minkowski 3-Space
In this paper, we study the differential geometry of the transversal intersection curve of two surfaces in Minkowski 3-space, where each pair satisfies the following types spacelike-lightlike, timelike-lightlike and lightlike-lightlike.

Tubular Surfaces Around Timelike Biharmonic Curves in Lorentzian Heisenberg Group Heis3
In this paper, we describe a new method for constructing a tubular surface surrounding a timelike biharmonic curve in the Lorentzian Heisenberg group Heis3. Firstly, we characterize timelike biharmonic curves in terms of their curvature and torsion. Also,

Timelike rotational surfaces with lightlike profile curve
In this work, some geometric properties of the timelike rotational surfaces with lightlike profile curve of (S, L), (T,L) and (L, L) − types are shown in Minkowski 3−space.

Special helices on equiform differential geometry of timelike curves in E_1^4
In this paper, we introduce the moving Frenet frame along the timelike curve in E_1^4 and then Frenet formulas with the equiform parameter in the equiform geometry of the Minkowski space-time.

In this paper, a class of indefinite hypersurfaces and a class of indefinite surfaces generated by timelike curves located in nullcone in 4-dimensional semi-Euclidean space with index 2 are discussed. Using the unfolding theory in singularity theory, the

Negative branes, supergroups and the signature of spacetime
We study the realization of supergroup gauge theories using negative branes in string theory. We show that negative branes are intimately connected with the possibility of timelike compactification and exotic spacetime signatures previously studied by ...

Tangent and trinormal spherical images of a time-like curve on the pseudohyperbolic space H30; pp. 216–224 [PDF]
In this work tangent and trinormal spherical images of a time-like curve lying on the pseudohyperbolic space H30 in Minkowski space-time are investigated. We observe that the mentioned spherical images are space-like curves.
