I analyze the properties of thin shells through which the scalar curvature R is discontinuous in gravity theories with R + R^2 Lagrangian on the bulk. These shells/domain walls are of a new kind because they possess, in addition to the…

In this work we derive the junction conditions for the matching between two spacetimes at a separation hypersurface in the perfect-fluid version of $f\left(R,T\right)$ gravity, not only in the usual geometrical representation but also in a…
In the context of extended Teleparallel gravity theories, we address the issue of junction conditions required to guarantee the correct matching of different regions of spacetime. In the absence of shells/branes, these conditions turn out…
Gravitational double layers, unlike their classical electromagnetic counterparts, are thought to be forbidden in gravity theories. It has been recently shown, however, that they are feasible in, for instance, gravity theories with a…
We discuss a very general theory of gravity, of which Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of the curvature invariants, on the brane. In general, the formulation of the junction conditions (except for Euler characteristics such as…
The generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity is a theory of gravitation that has an action composed of a Lagrangian $f(R,\cal R)$, where $f$ is a function of the metric Ricci scalar $R$ and a new Ricci scalar $\cal R$ formed from a…
We derive the most general junction conditions for the fourth-order brane gravity constructed of arbitrary functions of curvature invariants. We reduce these fourth-order theories to second order theories at the expense of introducing new…
The junction conditions for the infinite derivative gravity theory ${R{+}RF(\Box)R}$ are derived under the assumption that the conditions can be imposed by avoiding the `ill-defined expressions' in the theory of distributions term by term…
This manuscript aims to establish the gravitational junction conditions(JCs) for the $f(\mathcal{G},~T)$ gravity. In this gravitational theory, $f$ is an arbitrary function of Gauss-Bonnet invariant $\mathcal{G}$ and the trace of the…
The junction conditions for General Relativity in the presence of domain walls with intrinsic spin are derived in three and higher dimensions. A stress tensor and a spin current can be defined just by requiring the existence of a well…
In this work we study the problem of generalizing the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary terms for general quadratic theories of gravity and propose a simple condition to obtain them. From these terms we derive the junction conditions for a…
We work out the junction conditions for the Palatini $f(\mathcal{R},T)$ extension of General Relativity, where $f$ is an arbitrary function of the curvature scalar $\mathcal{R}$ of an independent connection, and of the trace $T$ of the…
Taking the Randall-Sundrum models as background scenario, we derive generalized Israel-Lanczos-Sen thin-shell junction conditions for systems in which several bulk scalar fields are non-minimally coupled to gravity. We demonstrate that the…
We revisit the definition and some of the characteristics of quadratic theories of gravity with torsion. We start from the most general Lagrangian density quadratic in the curvature and torsion tensors. By assuming that General Relativity…
We derived the equations for the double layers in Quadratic Gravity, using solely the least action principle. The advantage of our approach is that, in the process of calculation, the $\delta'$-function does not appear at all, and the…
Using the notion of distribution-valued tensor, we discuss the junction conditions within the framework of f(Q)-gravity. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for two distinct solutions of the field equations to be smoothly…
In quadratic gravity, the junction conditions are six and permit the appearance of double layer thin shells. Double layers arise typically in theories with dipoles, i.e., two opposite charges, such as electromagnetic theories, and appear…
Both electromagnetic shock-waves and gravitational waves propagate with the speed of light. If they carry significant energy-momentum, this will change the properties of the space-time they propagate through. This can be described in terms…
