We present an axially symmetric, asymptotically flat empty space solution of the Einstein field equations containing a naked singularity. The space-time is regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a true curvature singularity. The space-time is of type D in the Petrov classification scheme and is locally isometric to the metrics of case IV in the Kinnersley classification of type D vacuum metrics. Additionally, the space-time also shows the evolution of closed timelike curves (CTCs) from an initial hypersurface free from CTCs.

We present a gravitational collapse null dust solution of the Einstein field equations. The space-time is regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity and admits one parameter isometry group, a generator of axial symmetry along the cylinder which has closed orbits. The space-time admits closed timelike curves (CTCs) which develop at some particular moment in a causally well-behaved manner and may represent a Cosmic Time Machine. The radial geodesics near the singularity and the gravitational lensing (GL) will be discussed. The physical interpretation of this solution, based on the study of the equation of the geodesic deviation, will be presented. It was demonstrated that this solution depends on the local gravitational field consisting of two components with amplitudes Ψ2 and Ψ4.

In this paper, we present a type D, nonvanishing cosmological constant, vacuum solution of Einstein’s field equations, extension of an axially symmetric, asymptotically flat vacuum metric with a curvature singularity. The space-time admits closed time-like curves (CTCs) that appear after a certain instant of time from an initial space-like hypersurface, indicating it represents a time-machine space-time. We wish to discuss the physical properties and show that this solution can be interpreted as gravitational waves of Coulomb-type propagate on anti-de Sitter space backgrounds. Our treatment focuses on the analysis of the equation of geodesic deviations.

We present a cylindrically symmetric, Petrov type D, nonexpanding, shear-free, and vorticity-free solution of Einstein’s field equations. The spacetime is asymptotically flat radially and regular everywhere except on the symmetry axis where it possesses a naked curvature singularity. The energy-momentum tensor of the spacetime is that for an anisotropic fluid which satisfies the different energy conditions. This spacetime is used to generate a rotating spacetime which admits closed timelike curves and may represent a Cosmic Time Machine.

We investigate the space–time of a spinning cosmic string in conformal invariant gravity, where the interior consists of a gauged scalar field. We find exact solutions of the exterior of a stationary spinning cosmic string, where we write the metric as [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] a dilaton field which contains all the scale dependences. The “unphysical” metric [Formula: see text] is related to the [Formula: see text]-dimensional Kerr space–time. The equation for the angular momentum [Formula: see text] decouples, for the vacuum situation as well as for global strings, from the other field equations and delivers a kind of spin-mass relation. For the most realistic solution, [Formula: see text] falls off as [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] close to the core. The space–time is Ricci flat. The formation of closed timelike curves can be pushed to space infinity for suitable values of the parameters and the violation of the weak energy condition can be avoided. For the interior, a numerical solution is found. This solution can easily be matched at the boundary on the exterior exact solution by special choice of the parameters of the string. This example shows the power of conformal invariance to bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum field theory.

The present work looks for new spherically symmetric wormhole solutions of the Einstein field equations based on the well-known embedding class 1, i.e. Karmarkar condition. The embedding theorems have an interesting property that connects an [Formula: see text]-dimensional space–time to the higher-dimensional Euclidean flat space–time. The Einstein field equations yield the wormhole solution by violating the null energy condition (NEC). Here, wormholes solutions are obtained corresponding to three different redshift functions: rational, logarithm, and inverse trigonometric functions, in embedding class 1 space–time. The obtained shape function in each case satisfies the flare-out condition after the throat radius, i.e. good enough to represents wormhole structure. In cases of WH1 and WH2, the solutions violate the NEC as well as strong energy condition (SEC), i.e. here the exotic matter content exists within the wormholes and strongly sustains wormhole structures. In the case of WH3, the solution violates NEC but satisfies SEC, so for violating the NEC wormhole preserve due to the presence of exotic matter. Moreover, WH1 and WH2 are asymptotically flat while WH3 is not asymptotically flat. So, indeed, WH3 cutoff after some radial distance [Formula: see text], the Schwarzschild radius, and match to the external vacuum solution.

A non-spherical solution of Einstein’s field equations, possessing a naked curvature singularity on the symmetry axis, satisfying the strong curvature condition, is presented. The spacetime admits closed timelike curves which appear after a certain instant of time in a causally well-behaved manner. The matter–energy content radiation fields, coupled with anisotropic fluids, obeying the energy conditions, diverge on the symmetry axis.

In this paper, a complex daor field which can be regarded as the square root of space–time metric is proposed to represent gravity. The locally complexified geometry is set up, and the complex spin connection constructs a bridge between gravity and SU(1, 3) gauge field. Daor field equations in empty space are acquired, which are one-order differential equations and do not conflict with Einstein's gravity theory.

In this paper, we obtain the field equations of Weyl static axially symmetric space-time in the framework of [Formula: see text] gravity, where [Formula: see text] is torsion scalar. We will see that, for [Formula: see text] related to teleparallel equivalent general relativity, these equations reduce to Einstein field equations. We show that if the components of energy–momentum tensor are symmetric, the scalar torsion must be either constant or only a function of radial component [Formula: see text]. The solutions of some functions [Formula: see text] in which [Formula: see text] is a function of [Formula: see text] are obtained.

This paper investigates axially symmetric space–times that admit a homothetic vector field based on Lyra’s geometry. The cases when the displacement vector is a function of t and when it is constant are studied. In the context of this geometry, we find and classify the solutions of the Einstein’s field equations for the space–time under consideration, which display a homothetic symmetry.
