In continuation of the similarly titled paper on the $e^2 < m^2$ Reissner -- Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) metric (arXiv 2409.03786), in this paper it was verified whether it is possible to send (by means of timelike and null geodesics) messages to…
We revisit the issue of causality violations in G\"{o}del's universe, restricting to geodesic motions. It is well-known that while there are closed timelike curves in this spacetime, there are no closed causal geodesics. We show further…
Given an extendible spacetime one may ask how much, if any, uniqueness can in general be expected of the extension. Locally, this question was considered and comprehensively answered in a recent paper of Sbierski, where he obtains local…
We consider how causality and micro-causality are realised in QED in curved spacetime. The photon propagator is found to exhibit novel non-analytic behaviour due to vacuum polarization, which invalidates the Kramers-Kronig dispersion…
Circular null geodesic orbits, in extremal Reissner-Nordstrom spacetimes, are examined with regard to their stability, and compared with similar orbits in the near-extremal situation. Extremization of the effective potential for null…
Models with extra dimensions are often invoked to resolve cosmological problems. We investigate the possibility of apparent acausality as seen by a brane-based observer resulting from signal propagation through the extra dimensions. Null…
It is generally assumed that naked singularities must be physically excluded, as they could otherwise introduce unpredictable influences in their future null cones. Considering geodesics for a naked Reissner-Nordstrom singularity, it is…
We propose that the late-time tail problem in the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m (RN) spacetime is dual to a tail problem in the Schwarzschild spacetime with a different initial data set: at a fixed observation point the asymptotic decay rate of…
The maximally extended Reissner--Nordstr\"om (RN) manifold with $e^2 < m^2$ begs for attaching a material source to it that would preserve the infinite chain of asymptotically flat regions and evolve through the wormhole between the RN…
In this paper we study some features of the Reissner-Nordstr\"om metric both from an analytic and a visual point of view. We perform an accurate ray tracing and study of null geodesics in various situations. Among the issues we focus on are…
Certain time-like singularities are shown to be resolved already in classical General Relativity once one passes from particle probes to scalar waves. The time evolution can be defined uniquely and some general conditions for that are…
We consider a massless scalar field propagating on the exterior of the extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole. Using a discrete conformal symmetry of this spacetime, we draw a one-to-one relationship between the behavior of the field near…
We show that supercritically charged black holes with NUT provide a new setting for traversable wormholes. This does not require exotic matter, a price being the Misner string singularities. Without assuming time periodicity to make Misner…
For generic theories of nonlinear electrodynamics (NLED) we investigate the implications of (a)causality on spherically-symmetric solutions of the Einstein-NLED equations that are asymptotic to a Reissner-Nordstr\"om (RN) spacetime.…
It is shown that if two Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m space-times, both with the same mass m and charge e, glued together in the singularities, then the light ray in black hole of the first space-time can go continuously through the singularity…
We study black holes produced by the collapse of a spherically symmetric charged scalar field in asymptotically flat space. We employ a late time expansion and show decaying fluxes of radiation through the event horizon imply the black hole…
We construct analytic extensions across the Killing horizons of non-extremal and extremal dipole black rings in Einstein-Maxwell's theory using different methods. We show that these extensions are non-globally hyperbolic, have multiple…
We investigate the motion of electrically charged test particles in spacetimes with closed timelike curves, a subset of the black hole or wormhole Reissner-Nordstr\"om-NUT spacetimes without periodic identification of time. We show that,…
Brane observers executing appropriate motion through a partially compactified Lorentz invariant bulk spacetime, such as $M_4 \times S^1$, can send signals along the brane that are instantaneous or even travel backward in time. Nevertheless,…
A basic extension of the exterior part of the extreme Reissner-Nordstroem solution in terms of a continuous metric and gauge potential is constructed. This extension is not smooth at the null hypersurface given by the Cauchy-Killing horizon…
