Thin shells in general relativity and cosmology: The lightlike limit
Abstract
This paper shows how the structure and dynamics of a thin shell traveling at the speed of light can be obtained from a simple and convenient prescription that is a straightforward extension and continuous limit of the familiar extrinsic-curvature algorithm for subluminal shells. It allows the space-time coordinates to be chosen freely and independently on the two sides of the shell. The prescription is applied to several examples of interest in general relativity and cosmology.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
