Closed causal curves in f(ℛ,𝒜,AμνAμν) gravity

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a [Formula: see text] solution of Einstein field equations, an extension of [Formula: see text] Misner space in the context of Ricci-inverse ([Formula: see text])-gravity theory. For that, we consider two different class, namely, Class-II model which is defined by the function [Formula: see text] and Class-III model defined by the function [Formula: see text]. Here, [Formula: see text] is the anti-curvature tensor with [Formula: see text] as its scalar, and [Formula: see text] is the Ricci scalar. Using this [Formula: see text] metric as background, the modified field equations for Ricci-inverse gravity were derived and obtain the results. These derived field equations are then solvable by choosing the pure radiation field as the energy-momentum tensor, including a cosmological constant as does in the general relativity. This implies that the chosen [Formula: see text] space-time is a valid solution in this novel gravity theory, and thereby violate the causality condition, analogous to general relativity.
