Abstract

It was previously proved that the G\"{o}del-type metrics with flat three-dimensional background metric solve exactly the field equations of the Einstein-Aether theory in four dimensions. We generalize this result by showing that the stationary G\"{o}del-type metrics with nonflat background in DD dimensions solve exactly the field equations of the Einstein-Aether theory. The reduced field equations are the (D1)(D-1)-dimensional Euclidean Ricci-flat and the (D1)(D-1)-dimensional source-free Maxwell equations, and the parameters of the theory are left free except c1c3=1c_{1}-c_{3}=1. We give a method to produce exact solutions of the Einstein-Aether theory from the G\"{o}del-type metrics in DD dimensions. By using this method, we present explicit exact solutions to the theory by considering the particular cases: (D1D-1)-dimensional Euclidean flat, conformally flat, and Tangherlini backgrounds.
