Abstract

The kk-essence modified f(R)f(R) gravity model, i.e., f(R,ϕ,X)f(R,\phi,X) theory is studied. The question of violation of causality, in the framework of G\"{o}del-type universes, is investigated in this gravitational model. Causal and non-causal solutions are allowed. A critical radius for non-causal solution is calculated. It is shown that the violation of causality depends on the content of matter.
