We generalise this definition to metric compatible spacetimes with torsion and describe basic properties of such spacetimes. We use our generalised pp-waves for constructing new explicit vacuum solutions of quadratic metric-affine gravity.17 pages, LaTeX2eGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyDifferential GeometryPP-waves with torsion and metric-affine gravitytext
