Colliding waves in metric-affine gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-08-15 v1

Abstract

We generalize the formulation of the colliding gravitational waves to metric-affine theories and present an example of such kind of exact solutions. The plane waves are equipped with five symmetries and the resulting geometry after the collision possesses two spacelike Killing vectors.
