Generalized pp-wave Solutions on Products of Ricci-Flat Spaces
Abstract
A multidimensional gravitational model with several scalar fields and form fields is considered. A wide class of generalized pp-wave solutions defined on a product of n+1 Ricci-flat spaces is obtained. Certain examples of solutions (e.g. in supergravitational theories) are singled out. For special cone-type internal factor spaces the solutions are written in Brinkmann form. An example of pp-wave solution is obtained using Penrose limit of a solution defined on a product of two Einstein spaces.
