Item Open Access Anti-de sitter-wave solutions of higher derivative theories(American Physical Society, 2013) Gürses, M.; Hervik, S.; Şişman, T. Ç.; Tekin, B.We show that the recently found anti-de Sitter (AdS)-plane and AdS-spherical wave solutions of quadratic curvature gravity also solve the most general higher derivative theory in D dimensions. More generally, we show that the field equations of such theories reduce to an equation linear in the Ricci tensor for Kerr-Schild spacetimes having type-N Weyl and type-N traceless Ricci tensors. © 2013 American Physical Society.
