Abstract

We show that the G{\" o}del type Metrics in three dimensions with arbitrary two dimensional background space satisfy the Einstein-perfect fluid field equations. There exists only one first order partial differential equation satisfied by the components of fluid's velocity vector field. We then show that the same metrics solve the field equations of the topologically massive gravity where the two dimensional background geometry is a space of constant negative Gaussian curvature. We discuss the possibility that the G{\" o}del Type Metrics to solve the Ricci and Cotton flow equations. When the vector field uμu^{\mu} is a Killing vector field we finally show that the stationary G{\" o}del Type Metrics solve the field equations of the most possible gravitational field equations where the interaction lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the electromagnetic field and the curvature tensors.
