Unitarity with Closed Timelike Curves [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2006
We conjecture that, in certain cases, quantum dynamics is consistent in the presence of closed timelike curves. We consider time dependent orbifolds of three dimensional Minkowski space describing, in the limit of large AdS radius, BTZ black holes inside the horizon.

A comment on Bonnor–Steadman closed timelike curves [PDF]

open access: yesGeneral Relativity and Gravitation, 2008
The existence and stability closed timelike curves in a Bonnor-Ward spacetime without torsion line singularities is shown by exhibiting particular examples.

Special helices on equiform differential geometry of timelike curves in E_1^4

open access: yesCumhuriyet Science Journal, 2021
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.

Causality violation and singularities [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We show that singularities necessarily occur when a boundary of causality violating set exists in a space-time under the physically suitable assumptions except the global causality condition in the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorems.

Singularities of Indefinite Hypersurfaces and Indefinite Surfaces along Timelike Curves in Nullcone with Index Two

open access: yesJournal of Function Spaces, 2018
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

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2018
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]

open access: yesProceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2010
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.

Quantum Computational Complexity in the Presence of Closed Timelike Curves

open access: yes, 2003
Quantum computation with quantum data that can traverse closed timelike curves represents a new physical model of computation. We argue that a model of quantum computation in the presence of closed timelike curves can be formulated which represents a ...

Normal forms for sub-Lorentzian metrics supported on Engel type distributions

open access: yes, 2013
We construct normal forms for Lorentzian metrics on Engel distributions under the assumption that abnormal curves are timelike future directed Hamiltonian geodesics.

Energy-Momentum Restrictions on the Creation of Gott Time Machines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The discovery by Gott of a remarkably simple spacetime with closed timelike curves (CTC's) provides a tool for investigating how the creation of time machines is prevented in classical general relativity.
