Plane waves in metric-affine gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe plane-fronted waves in the Yang-Mills type quadratic metricaffine theory of gravity. The torsion and the nonmetricity are both nontrivial, and they do not belong to the triplet ansatz. PACS: 04.50.+h, 04.30.-w, 04.20.Jb.

An exact plane-fronted wave solution in metric-affine gravity
We study plane–fronted electrovacuum waves in metric–affine gravity (MAG) with cosmological constant in the triplet ansatz sector of the theory. Their field strengths are, on the gravitational side, curvature Rα , nonmetricity Qαβ , torsion T α and, on the matter side, the electromagnetic field strength F . Here we basically present, after a short introduction into MAG and its triplet subcase, ...
متن کاملMetric–Affine Gauge Theory of Gravity I. Fundamental Structure and Field Equations
We give a self–contained introduction into the metric–affine gauge theory of gravity. Starting from the equivalence of reference frames, the prototype of a gauge theory is presented and illustrated by the example of Yang–Mills theory. Along the same lines we perform a gauging of the affine group and establish the geometry of metric–affine gravity. The results are put into the dynamical framewor...
متن کاملAdS Waves as Exact Solutions to Quadratic Gravity
We give an exact solution of the quadratic gravity in D dimensions. The solution is a plane-fronted wave metric with a cosmological constant. This metric solves not only the full quadratic gravity field equations but also the linearized ones which include the linearized equations of the recently found critical gravity. A subset of the solutions change the asymptotic structure of the anti-de Sit...
متن کاملBRST–Antifield–Treatment of Metric–Affine Gravity
The metric–affine gauge theory of gravity provides a broad framework in which gauge theories of gravity can be formulated. In this article we fit metric–affine gravity into the covariant BRST–antifield formalism in order to obtain gauge fixed quantum actions. As an example the gauge fixing of a general two–dimensional model of metric–affine gravity is worked out explicitly. The result is shown ...
متن کاملRefractive Gravitational Waves and Quantum Fluctuations
Refractive gravitational waves are a generalisation of impulsive waves on a null hypersurface in which the metric is discontinuous but a weaker continuity condition for areas holds. A simple example of a plane wave is examined in detail and two arguments are given that this should be considered a solution of Einstein’s vacuum field equations. The study of these waves is motivated by quantum gra...
