Title:Breaking the Warp Barrier: Hyper-Fast Solitons in
Einstein-Maxwell-Plasma Theory

Authors:Erik W. Lentz

    Abstract: Solitons in space--time capable of transporting
    time-like observers at superluminal speeds have long been tied to
    violations of the weak, strong, and dominant energy conditions of
    general relativity. The negative-energy sources required for
    these solitons must be created through energy-intensive
    uncertainty principle processes as no such classical source is
    known in particle physics. This paper overcomes this barrier by
    constructing a class of soliton solutions that are capable of
    superluminal motion and sourced by purely positive energy
    densities. The solitons are also shown to be capable of being
    sourced from the stress-energy of a conducting plasma and
    classical electromagnetic fields. This is the first example of
    hyper-fast solitons resulting from known and familiar sources,
    reopening the discussion of superluminal mechanisms rooted in
    conventional physics.
