Abstract
We study plane-fronted electrovacuum waves in metric-affine gravity (MAG) with cosmological constant in the triplet ansatz sector of the theory. Their field strengths are, on the gravitational side, curvature R α β nonmetricity Q αβ torsion T α and, on the matter side, the electromagnetic field strength F. Here we basically present, after a short introduction into MAG and its triplet subcase, the results of earlier joint work with García, Macías, and Socorro [1]. Our solution is based on an exact solution of Ozsváth, Robinson, and Rózga describing type N gravitational fields in general relativity as coupled to electromagnetic null-fields.
