Abstract

We classify solutions of the vacuum weighted Einstein field equations on smooth metric measure spacetimes (M,g,h dvolg) of dimension 4, where the underlying manifold (M,g) is a pr-wave. We use this result to provide examples of solutions with some special geometric properties. The gradient ∇ h is lightlike or spacelike. In the first case, the underlying manifold is a pp-wave. In the second case, the Ricci operator is nilpotent. Moreover, 2-step nilpotent solutions are also realized on pp-waves.
