Frame dragging anomalies for rotating bodies

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-12-18 v2

Abstract

Examples of axially symmetric solutions to Einstein's field equations are given that exhibit anomalous "negative frame dragging" in the sense that zero angular momentum test particles acquire angular velocities in the opposite direction of rotation from the source of the metric.
