Abstract

We discuss some spacetimes, which are flat everywhere except for a thin shell of matter or a string of matter, in the framework of the Israel formalism. First we study spherically symmetric universes with a single sheet of matter. Then we show that the construction of a cosmic string as a limit of various thin shell distributions of matter leads to identical results.
