On causality violation in Lyra Geometry (1804.05727v1)

Abstract: In this paper the causality issues are discussed in a non-Riemannian geometry, called Lyra geometry. It is a non-Riemannian geometry originated from Weyl geometry. In order to compare this geometry with the Riemannian geometry, the Einstein field equations are considered. It is verified that the G\"{o}del and G\"{o}del-type metric are consistent with this non-Riemannian geometry. A non-trivial solution for G\"{o}del universe in the absence of matter sources is determined without analogue in general relativity. Different sources are considered and then different conditions for causal and non-causal solutions are discussed.
