Abstract
We present a general formalism for describing singular hypersurfaces in the Einstein theory of gravitation with a Gauss--Bonnet term. The junction conditions are given in a form which is valid for the most general embedding and matter content and for coordinates chosen independently on each side of the hypersurface. The theory is applied to both a time--like and a light--like hypersurface in brane--cosmology.
