Abstract

An axially symmetric nonvacuum solution of the Einstein field equations, regular everywhere and free from curvature divergence is presented. The matter-energy content is a the pure radiation field satisfying the energy conditions, and the metric is of type N in the Petrov classification scheme. The space-time develops circular closed timelike curves everywhere outside a finite region of space i.e., beyond a null curve. Furthermore, the physical interpretation of the solution based on the study of the equations of geodesic deviation is presented. Finally, the von Zeipel cylinders with respect to the Zero Angular Momentum Observers (ZAMOs) is discussed. In addition, circular null and timelike geodesic of pace-time are also presented.
