Abstract
Three simple examples illustrate properties of path-integral amplitudes in fixed background spacetimes with closed timelike curves: nonrelativistic potential scattering in the Born approximation is nonunitary, but both an example with hard spheres and the exact solution of a totally discrete model are unitary.
