We study a simple class of time-dependent rotating Ricci-flat cylindrically symmetric spacetime manifolds whose geodesics admit gravitomagnetic jets. The helical paths of free test particles in these jets up and down parallel to the rotation axis are analogous to those of charged particles in a magnetic field. The jets are attractors. The jet speed asymptotically approaches the speed of light. In effect, such source-free spacetime regions act as "gravitomagnetic accelerators".

  1. Cosmic Jets in General Relativity

    gr-qc 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Free particles and scalar waves in Kasner and plane-wave spacetimes asymptotically align into jets that move at nearly the speed of light relative to fiducial observers.

  2. Elliptically Polarized Plane Gravitational Waves

    gr-qc 2025-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exact elliptically polarized plane gravitational wave solutions exhibit a cosmic jet effect: generic timelike and null geodesics asymptotically align with the propagation direction at speed c.
