Comments on photonic shells

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We investigate in detail the special case of an infinitely thin static cylindrical shell composed of counter-rotating photons on circular geodetical paths separating two distinct parts of Minkowski spacetimes--one inside and the other outside the shell--and compare it to a static disk shell formed by null particles counter-rotating on circular geodesics within the shell located between two sections of flat spacetime. One might ask whether the two cases are not, in fact, merely one.
