论文摘要
我们提出了一个全局度量标准，描述了嵌入Minkowski SpaceTime中的封闭时间曲线。从物理上讲，该度量代表旋转平台上的Alcubierre翘曲驱动器。由于生产它所需的异国情调，因此这种度量的物理可靠性是不确定的。不过，我们建议该指标将在更严格地研究与封闭时间曲线相互作用的量子场的行为中应用。
We present a global metric describing closed timelike curves embedded in Minkowski spacetime. Physically, the metric represents an Alcubierre warp drive on a rotating platform. The physical realizability of such a metric is uncertain due to the exotic matter required to produce it. Never-the-less we suggest that this metric will have applications in more rigorously studying the behavior of quantum fields interacting with closed timelike curves.
