Stability of charged thin shells

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2011-05-05 v2

Abstract

In this article we study the mechanical stability of spherically symmetric thin shells with charge, in Einstein-Maxwell and Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. We analyze linearized perturbations preserving the symmetry, for shells around vacuum and shells surrounding non charged black holes.
