Extended Schouten classification for non-Riemannian geometries

A generalized connection, including Christoffel coefficients, torsion, non-metricity tensor and metric-asymmetricity object, is analyzed according to the Schouten classification. The inverse structure matrix is found in the linearized regime, autoparallel trajectories are defined and the contribution of the components of the connection are clarified at first-order approximation.

Generalizations of pp-wave spacetimes in higher dimensions

We shall investigate $D$-dimensional Lorentzian spacetimes in which all of the scalar invariants constructed from the Riemann tensor and its covariant derivatives are zero. These spacetimes are higher-dimensional generalizations of $D$-dimensional pp-wave spacetimes, which have been of interest recently in the context of string theory in curved backgrounds in higher dimensions.
