AdS Waves as Exact Solutions to Quadratic Gravity

High Energy Physics - Theory 2011-04-22 v3 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

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 Sitter space due to their logarithmic behavior.
