Some Higher Dimensional Vacuum Solutions

We study an even dimensional manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric with arbitrary signature and arbitrary dimensions. We consider the Ricci flat equations and present a procedure to construct solutions to some higher (even) dimensional Ricci flat field equations from the four diemnsional Ricci flat metrics. When the four dimensional Ricci flat geometry correponds to a colliding gravitational vacuum spacetime our approach provides an exact solution to the vacuum Einstein field equations for colliding graviational plane waves in an (arbitrary) even dimensional spacetime. We give explicitly higher dimensional Szekeres metrics and study their singularity behaviors
