Abstract

We investigate spherically symmetric solutions with pressure and discuss the existence of a dividing shell separating expanding and collapsing regions. We perform a 3+1 splitting and obtain gauge invariant conditions relating not only the intrinsic spatial curvature of the shells to the ADM mass, but also a function of the pressure which we introduce that generalises the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equilibrium condition. We consider the particular case of a Lema\^itre-Tolman dust models with a cosmological constant (a Λ\Lambda-CDM model) as an example of our results.
