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.
The known exact solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations modeling the gravitational fields of pure gravitational radiation involve wave fronts which are either planar or roughly spherical. We describe a scheme designed to check…
