In this work we present all the possible solutions for a static cylindrical symmetric spacetime in the Einstein-Aether (EA) theory. As far as we know, this is the first work in the literature that considers cylindrically symmetric solutions…
The starting point of this work is the principle that all movement of particles and photons must follow geodesics of a 4-dimensional space where time intervals are always a measure on geodesic arc lengths. The last 3 coordinates (alpha =…

A regular class of static, cylindrically symmetric pure magnetic field metrics is rederived in a different metric ansatz in all dimensions. Radial, time dependent perturbations show that for dimensions d>3 such spacetimes are stable at both…
Solutions of Einstein vacuum equations, for a static pseudospherically symmetric system, are presented. They describe a naked singularity and a singular solution with many resemblances to the Schwartzschild solution but with two major…
We analyze here the structure of non-radial nonspacelike geodesics terminating in the past at a naked singularity formed as the end state of inhomogeneous dust collapse. The spectrum of outgoing nonspacelike null geodesics is examined…
We present a cyclic symmetric space-time, admitting closed time-like curves (CTCs) which appear after a certain instant of time, i. e., a time-machine space-time. These closed time-like curves evolve from an initial spacelike hypersurface…
Cylindrically symmetric vacuum spacetimes are of immense interest in theoretical physics due to its connection to cosmic strings hypothesized in quantum field theory. In this article, we explore the properties of such spacetime and provide…
We consider a class of stationary and axisymmetric wormhole spacetimes that is closely related to, but not identical with, the class of Teo wormholes. We fix a point $p$ (observation event) and a timelike curve $\gamma$ (worldline of a…
We investigate motion of test particles in exact spacetimes with an expanding impulsive gravitational wave which propagates in Minkowski, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter universe. Using the continuous form of these metrics we derive explicit…
