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 $R_{\alpha}{}^{\beta}$,…
We describe plane-fronted waves in the Yang-Mills type quadratic metric-affine theory of gravity. The torsion and the nonmetricity are both nontrivial, and they do not belong to the triplet ansatz.

In accordance with an old suggestion of Asher Peres (1962), we consider the electromagnetic field as fundamental and the metric as a subsidiary field. In following up this thought, we formulate Maxwell's theory in a diffeomorphism invariant…
