We calculate the boundary stress-tensor for the Kaigorodov-Ozsváth solution in the context of the adS/CFT correspondence. By giving a matrix representation of the Killing algebra of the Petrov solution, we determine left-invariant one-forms on the group. The algebra is shown to admit a two-parameter family of linear deformations a special case of which gives the algebra of the Kaigorodov-Ozsváth solution. By applying the method of non-linear realisations to both algebras, we obtain a Lagrangian of Finsler type from the general first-order action in both cases. Interpreting the Petrov solution as the exterior solution of a rigidly rotating dust cylinder, we discuss the question of creation of CTCs by spinning up such a cylinder. We show geodesic completeness of the Petrov and Kaigorodov-Ozsváth solutions and determine the behaviour of geodesics in these spacetimes. The holonomy groups were shown to be given by the Lorentz group in both cases.25 pages (latex), 3 figures, corrected a few minor errorsGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - TheoryThe Petrov and Kaigorodov-Ozsváth Solutions: Spacetime as a Group Manifoldtext
