Our focus is on a specific type-N space–time that exhibits closed time-like curves in general relativity theory within the framework of Ricci-inverse gravity model. The matter-energy content is solely composed of a pure radiation field, and it adheres to the energy conditions while featuring a negative cosmological constant. One of the key findings in this investigation is the non-zero determinant of the Ricci tensor (R μ ν), which implies the existence of an anti-curvature tensor (A μ ν) and, as a consequence, an anti-curvature scalar (A ≠ R − 1 ). Furthermore, we establish that this type-N space–time serves as a solution within modified gravity theories via the Ricci-inverse model, which involves adjustments to the cosmological constant (Λ) and the energy density (ρ) of the radiation field expressed in terms of a coupling constant. As a result, our findings suggest that causality violations remain possible within the framework of this Ricci-inverse gravity model, alongside the predictions of general relativity.
