Abstract | |||||
| We consider the brane-world generalization of the Gφdel universe and analyze its dynamical interaction with the bulk. The exact homogeneity of the standard Gφdel spacetime no longer holds, unless the bulk is also static. We show how the anisotropy of the Gφdel-type brane is dictated by that of the bulk and find that the converse is also true. This determines the precise evolution of the nonlocal anisotropic stresses, without any phenomenological assumptions, and leads to a self-consistent closed set of equations for the evolution of the Gφdel brane. We also examine the causality of the Gφdel brane and show that the presence of the bulk cannot prevent the appearance of closed time-like curves. | |||||
