The Generalized Warp Drive Concept in the EGR Theory
Abstract
In this paper, we briefly review the basic theory of the Alcubierre drive, known as the Warp Drive Concept, and its subsequent improvements. By using the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism we then re-formulate an extended extrinsic curvature which corresponds to the extra curvature of the Extended General Relativity (EGR). With this preparation, we are able to generalize the Alcubierre metric wherein the space-like hypersufaces are Riemannian, and the characteristic Alcubierre function is associated with the EGR geometry. This results in a reduced energy density tensor, whose form displays a potential ability to avoid the weak energy condition.
