Keywords: Siklos space-times‎, ‎quadratic curvature functional‎, ‎critical metric‎, ‎homogeneous space,

Abstract :

‎Some curvature functionals which are defined according to the quadratic curvature invariants were studied on a special class of space-times‎. ‎We exactly determine metrics that are critical for those considering curvature functionals‎, ‎through homogeneous classes‎.
