Memory effect of the pp waves with torsion

Abstract

We analyze the motion of test particles in the spacetime of the plane-fronted (pp) waves with torsion in four-dimensions. We conclude that there is a velocity memory effect in the direction of advanced time and along radial direction, while we have rotation of particles in angular direction. The velocity memory effect in the aforementioned directions is severely affected by the value of the tordion mass and probably it is not observable. A very interesting, probably observable effect, stems from the rotation, which is insensitive to the tordion mass.
