Generalized G\"odel universes in higher dimensions and pure Lovelock gravity
Abstract
G\"{o}del universe is a homogeneous rotating dust with negative which is a direct product of three dimensional pure rotation metric with a line. We would generalize it to higher dimensions for Einstein and pure Lovelock gravity with only one th order term. For higher dimensional generalization, we have to include more rotations in the metric, and hence we shall begin with the corresponding pure rotation odd -dimensional metric involving rotations, which eventually can be extended by a direct product with a line or a space of constant curvature for yielding higher dimensional G\"{o}del universe. The considerations of rotations and also of constant curvature spaces is a new line of generalization and is being considered for the first time.
