We analyze junction conditions at a null or non-null hypersurface $\Sigma$ in a large class of scalar-tensor theories in arbitrary $n(\ge 3)$ dimensions. After showing that the metric and a scalar field must be continuous at $\Sigma$ as the…

We consider the dynamics of timelike spherical thin matter shells in vacuum. A general formalism for thin shells matching two arbitrary spherical spacetimes is derived, and subsequently specialized to the vacuum case. We first examine the…

Boundary term and Brown-York (BY) formalism, which is based on the Hamilton-Jacobi principle, are complimentary of each other as the gravitational actions are not, usually, well-posed. In scalar-tensor theory, which is an important…

One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…

We introduce the notion of geometric purity in rigidly-compactly generated tt-categories by considering exact triangles that are pure at each tt-stalk. We develop a systematic study of this concept, including examples and applications. In…

Starting from Israel equations for the spherically symmetric thin shells we introduce the effective potential and show how it can be used in constructing, without further thorough investigation, the corresponding Carter-Penrose diagrams…
