Abstract: We show that the non flat factor of the Godel metric belongs to a one parameter family of 2+1 dimensional geometries that also includes the anti-de Sitter metric. The elements of this family allow a generalization a la Kaluza-Klein of the usual 3+1 dimensional Godel metric. Their lightcones can be viewed as deformations of the anti-de Sitter ones, involving tilting and squashing. This provides a simple geometric picture of the causal structure of these space-times, anti-de Sitter geometry appearing as the boundary between causally safe and causally pathological spaces. Furthermore, we construct a global algebraic isometric embedding of these metrics in 4+3 or 3+4 dimensional flat spaces, thereby illustrating in another way the occurrence of the closed timelike curves.
