Thin cylindrical shells in general relativity
Abstract
The sources of static cylindrically symmetric fields in the form of thin cylindrical shells are studied. The results are compared (in the case of the thin shell consisting of orbiting particles with the result of Raychaudhuri and Som). A special solution is also found, represented by a collapsing shell which is the source of the static field.
