The vacuum weighted Einstein field equations on pr-waves

Differential Geometry 2024-07-16 v1

Abstract

We classify solutions of the vacuum weighted Einstein field equations on smooth metric measure spacetimes (M,g,hdvolg)(M,g,h\, dvol_g) of dimension 4, where the underlying manifold (M,g)(M,g) is a prpr-wave. We use this result to provide examples of solutions with some special geometric properties. The gradient h\nabla h is lightlike or spacelike. In the first case, the underlying manifold is a pppp-wave. In the second case, the Ricci operator is nilpotent. Moreover, 22-step nilpotent solutions are also realized on pppp-waves.
