Wave Fronts in a Causality-Violating Gödel-Type Metric

Wave Fronts in a Causality-Violating Gödel-Type Metric

The light rays and wave fronts in a linear class of the Gödel-type metric are examined to reveal the causality-violating features of the space-time. Noncausal features demonstrated by the development of unusual wave front singularities are shown to be related to the nonmonotonic advance of time alon...
