We present a Petrov type II general space–time which violates causality in the sense that it allows for the formation of closed timelike curves that appear after a definite instant of time. The metric, which is axially symmetric, admits an expansion-free, twist-free and shear-free null geodesic congruence. From the general metric, we obtain two particular type II metrics. One is a vacuum solution while the other represents a Ricci flat solution with a negative cosmological constant.

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.

The problem of constructing global models describing isolated axially symmetric rotating bodies in equilibrium is analyzed. It is claimed that, whenever the global space–time is constructed by giving boundary data on the limiting surface of the body and integrating Einstein's equations on both inside and outside the body, the problem becomes overdetermined. Similarly, when the space–time describing the interior of the body is explicitly given, the problem of finding the exterior vacuum solution becomes overdetermined. We discuss in detail the procedure to be followed in order to construct the exterior vacuum field created by a given but arbitrary distribution of matter. Finally, the uniqueness of the exterior vacuum gravitational field is proven by exploiting the harmonic map formulation of the vacuum equations and the boundary conditions prescribed from the matching.

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.

By the application of the duality transformation, which implies interchange of active and passive electric parts of the Riemann curvature (equivalent to interchanging Ricci and Einstein tensors), it is shown that the global monopole solution in the Kaluza–Klein space–time is dual to the corresponding vacuum solution. Further we also obtain solution dual to flat space which would in general describe a massive global monopole in four-dimensional Euclidean space and would have massless limit analogous to the four-dimensional dual-flat solution.

We review critical physics affecting the observational characteristics of those supernovae that occur in massive stars. Particular emphasis is given to 1) how mass loss, either to a binary companion or by a radiatively driven wind, affects the type and light curve of the supernova, and 2) the interaction of the outgoing supernova shock with regions of increasing pr3 in the stellar mantle. One conclusion is that Type II-L supernovae may occur in mass exchanging binaries very similar to the one that produced SN 1993J, but with slightly larger initial separations and residual hydrogen envelopes (∼1 Mʘ and radius ∼ several AU). The shock interaction, on the other hand, has important implications for the formation of black holes in explosions that are, near peak light, observationally indistinguishable from ordinary Type II-p and lb supernovae.

In his book on Hydrodynamics, Lamb obtained a solution for the potential flow of an incompressible fluid through a circular hole in a plane wall. More recently Sneddon (Fourier Transforms, New York, 1951) obtained Lamb's solution by an elegant application of Hankel transforms.Since the streamlines in this solution are symmetric about the wall, it is not of particular physical interest. In this note, Sneddon's method is used to give a solution in which the fluid is infinite in extent on one side of the aperture but issues as a jet of finite diameter on the other side.

Four types of lies will be analyzed in the novel Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo. Each one stems from a specific area: space, time, love and death. These lies are complementary; the first two permeate into the other two and these complement each other forming a circle of ambiguity and uncertainty in the narrative.

In this paper two burn-in procedures for a general failure model are considered. There are two types of failure in the general failure model. One is Type I failure (minor failure) which can be removed by a minimal repair or a complete repair and the other is Type II failure (catastrophic failure) which can be removed only by a complete repair. During a burn-in process, with burn-in Procedure I, the failed component is repaired completely regardless of the type of failure, whereas, with burn-in Procedure II, only minimal repair is done for the Type I failure and a complete repair is performed for the Type II failure. In field use, the component is replaced by a new burned-in component at the ‘field use age’ T or at the time of the first Type II failure, whichever occurs first. Under the model, the problems of determining optimal burn-in time and optimal replacement policy are considered. The two burn-in procedures are compared in cases when both the procedures are applicable.
