Closed timelike curves in superfluid $^{3}$He

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the curved spacetime induced in a thin film of superfluid 3^{3}He-A by the presence of symmetric vortices with the unbroken symmetry phase, admits the existence of closed timelike curves through which only superfluid clusters formed by anti-3^{3}He atoms can travel and violate causality.
