A charged rotating cylindrical shell (Q1878369)

The goal of the paper is to obtain a spacetime having a cylindrical shell as its source. The spacetime arises by matching a conveniently chosen interior spacetime to a suitable chosen exterior one. The interior portion is to be constituted by the Bonnor-Melvin magnetic universe while as the exterior one is the solution of Datta and Raychaudhuri. The spacetime found contains closed timelike curves for all allowed values of the free parameters. The investigation of the test particles trajectories, either charged or uncharged, was carried out both for the interior as well as exterior regions.
