Closed timelike curve

From the point of view of general relativity, a closed timelike curve (CTC) is a closed, timelike worldline.

If a second time parameter is introduced to discuss a CTC, then the question Is it possible to travel backwards in time? becomes meaningful, since at least two different time parameters are used. A simpler question is In what circumstances can a CTC exist?
