We work out the junction conditions for $f(R)$ gravity formulated in metric-affine (Palatini) spaces using a tensor distributional approach. These conditions are needed for building consistent models of gravitating bodies with an interior…

Taking advantage of the conformal equivalence of f(R) theories of gravity with General Relativity coupled to a scalar field we generalize the Israel junction conditions for this class of theories by direct integration of the field…

In this work, we study the junction conditions of the ghost-free subclass of quadratic Poincar\'e Gauge gravity, which propagates one scalar and one pseudo-scalar. For this purpose, we revisit the theory of distributions and junction…
The junction conditions for general theories of gravity based on actions that depend on arbitrary functions of the curvature scalar invariants (including differential invariants) are obtained using the distributional formalism. In case of…
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…
It is well-known in the modified gravity scene that the calculation of junction conditions in certain complicated theories leads to ambiguities and conflicts between the various formulations. This paper introduces a general framework to…
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 the most general gravitational theory with a Lagrangian containing terms quadratic in the curvature are derived. We include the cases with a possible concentration of matter on the joining hypersurface -termed as…
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…
Junction conditions are discussed within the framework of $f(R)$-gravity with torsion. After deriving general junction conditions, the cases of coupling to a Dirac field and a spin fluid are explicitly dealt with. The main differences with…
We derive a general set of acceptable junction conditions for $F(T)$ gravity via the variational principle. The analysis is valid for both the traditional form of $F(T)$ gravity theory as well as the more recently introduced Lorentz…
We study singular hypersurfaces in tensor multi-scalar theories of gravity. We derive in a distributional and then in an intrinsic way, the general equations of junction valid for all types of hypersurfaces, in particular for lightlike…
We consider intersecting hypersurfaces in curved spacetime with gravity governed by a class of actions which are topological invariants in lower dimensionality. Along with the Chern-Simons boundary terms there is a sequence of intersection…
