Exterior calculus and moving frames are used to describe curved elastic shells. The kinematics follow from the Lie-derivative on forms whereas the dynamics via stress-forms.
Thin shells in general relativity can be used both as models of collapsing objects and as probes in the space-time outside compact sources. Therefore they provide a useful tool for the analysis of the final fate of collapsing matter and of…

Expansion of non-spherical relativistic blast waves is considered in the Kompaneets (the thin shell) approximation. We find that the relativistic motion effectively "freezes out" the lateral dynamics of the shock front: only extremely…
A formula for the apparent rotation of a relativistically moving object has been known for some time, but it seems not to have been realized that this formula has a very pretty interpretation in terms of formal group laws. Version 2…
The validity of the orbital motion limited (OML) theory is reviewed with reference to the floating potential acquired by a spherical object immersed in a plasma. A new and perhaps more realistic approach for obtaining the floating potential…
