This article investigates the critical three-dimensional Brinkmann waves for quadratic curvature functionals. It is found that if a metric is critical for some functional, it is critical for all of them. Additionally, four special functionals are identified that do not share critical metrics with any other quadratic functional. Furthermore, it is shown that these metrics provide explicit solutions for different massive gravity models.
Three-dimensional Brinkmann waves which are critical for quadratic curvature functionals are determined. Generically, if the metric is critical for some functional then it is critical for all of them. In contrast, there are four special functionals that do not share critical metrics with any other quadratic functional. It is also shown that these metrics provide explicit solutions for different massive gravity models.
