We analyse the existence of closed timelike curves in spacetimes whichpossess an isometry. In particular we check which discrete quotients of suchspaces lead to closed timelike curves. As a by-product of our analysis, weprove that the notion of existence or non-existence of closed timelike curvesis a T-duality invariant notion, whenever the direction along which we applysuch transformations is everywhere spacelike. Our formalism isstraightforwardly applied to supersymmetric theories. We provide some newexamples in the context of D-branes and generalized pp-waves.Comment: 1+35 pages, no figures; v2, new references added. Final version to appear in JHE
