Junction conditions in quadratic gravity: thin shells and double layers

Junction conditions in quadratic gravity: thin shells and double layers

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 thin shells, domain walls or braneworlds in the literature- as well as the proper …
