A New Representation of the Field Equations of Quadratic Metric-Affine Gravity

We deal with quadratic metric-affine gravity (QMAG), which is an alternative theory of gravity and present a new explicit representation of the field equations of this theory. In our previous work we found new explicit vacuum solutions of QMAG, namely generalised pp-waves of parallel Ricci curvature with purely tensor torsion. Here we do not make any assumptions on the properties of torsion and write down our field equations accordingly. We present a review of research done thus far by several authors in finding new solutions of QMAG and different approaches in generalising pp-waves. We present two conjectures on the new types of solutions of QMAG which the ansatz presented in this paper will hopefully enable us to prove.

Continuity of modulus of noncompact convexity for minimalizable measures of noncompactness

We consider the modulus of noncompact convexity $Δ_{X,ϕ}(\varepsilon)$ associated with the minimalizable measure of noncompactness $ϕ$. We present some properties of this modulus, while the main result of this paper is showing that $Δ_{X,ϕ}(\varepsilon)$ is a subhomogenous and continuous function on $[0,ϕ(\bar{B}_X))$ for an arbitrary minimalizable measure of compactness $ϕ$ in the case of a Banach space $X$ with the Radon-Nikodym property.
