Algebraically special spacetimes in higher dimensions
Ducháček, Petr ; Pravda, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Žofka, Martin (referee)
In this thesis I show known solutions of Einstein's equations and I am trying to find if some of these solutions solve equations of quadratic gravity. I also show summary of decomposition of basic tensors in four and higher dimensions. I look in detail at Einstein spaces, null radiation and Kundt spacetimes. I also show other equations for relativity in higher dimensions. I come to equations that Einstein spaces and null radiation must satisfy in order to solve quadratic gravity. I also lay down the conditions that Kundt spacetimes must satisfy in order to be of certain Ricci type and Weyl type which is necessary to find new solutions of quadratic gravity.
