Abstract
The paper contains, along with a brief review of solutions of general relativistic field equations when the metric is of a particular cylindrically symmetric stationary form, a new solution of the same general category when the energy‐momentum tensor is due to a perfect fluid plus a scalar field. It turns out that under these constraints, the space‐time is completely homogeneous and contains closed timelike lines. There is, however, a nonuniqueness in the interpretation as one can introduce a Maxwellian electromagnetic field of arbitrary strength along with the perfect fluid and the scalar field.
