Charged universes of the Godel type with closed timelike curves

The aim of this paper is to examine some obtained exact solutions of the Ei nstein-Maxwell equations, in particular their properties from a chronologic al point of view. Each of our spacetimes is stationary and cylindrically sy mmetric and is filled with a perfect fluid that is electrically charged. Th ere are two classes of solutions and examples of each are investigated, we give examples of the first class for both the vanishing and non-vanishing L orentz force.
