Type III Spacetime with Closed Timelike Curves

Abstract

We present a cyclic symmetric space-time, admitting closed time-like curves (CTCs) which appear after a certain instant of time, i. e., a time-machine space-time. These closed time-like curves evolve from an initial spacelike hypersurface on the plane $z$=constant in a causally well-behaved manner. The space-time discussed here is free from curvature singularities and a 4D generalization of the Misner space in curved space-time. The matter field is of pure radiation with a negative cosmological constant
