| Description | Third-order symmetric Lorentzian manifolds, i.e., Lorentzian manifolds with zero third derivative of the curvature tensor, are classified. These manifolds are exhausted by a special type of pp-waves, they generalize Cahen–Wallach spaces and second-order symmetric Lorentzian spaces. |
