Godel Type Metrics in Einstein-Aether Theory II: Nonflat Background in Arbitrary Dimensions
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 dimensions solve exactly the field equations of the Einstein-Aether theory. The reduced field equations are the -dimensional Euclidean Ricci-flat and the -dimensional source-free Maxwell equations, and the parameters of the theory are left free except . We give a method to produce exact solutions of the Einstein-Aether theory from the G\"{o}del-type metrics in dimensions. By using this method, we present explicit exact solutions to the theory by considering the particular cases: ()-dimensional Euclidean flat, conformally flat, and Tangherlini backgrounds.
