Frame dragging anomalies for rotating bodies

Abstract

Examples of axially symmetric solutions to Einstein's field equations are given that exhibit anomalous "negative frame dragging" in the sense that zero angular momentum test particles acquire angular velocities in the opposite direction of rotation from the source of the metric.

This version adds minor clarifications to the original published version of this paper, which among other things remove the source of Culetu's objections in arXiv:0811.4592. In addition, a reference is added with further acknowledgments
