abstract
We construct generic spherically symmetric thin-shell gravastars by using the cut-and-paste procedure. We take considerable effort to make the analysis as general and unified as practicable; investigating both the internal physics of the transition layer and its interaction with "external forces" arising due to interactions between the transition layer and the bulk spacetime. Furthermore, we discuss both the dynamic and static situations. In particular, we consider "bounded excursion" dynamical configurations, and probe the stability of static configurations. For gravastars there is always a particularly compelling configuration in which the surface energy density is zero, while surface tension is nonzero.

Thin-shell wormholes in T-duality quantum-corrected regular spacetimes exhibit an intermediate-radius window of unconditional stability absent in the classical Schwarzschild case.
The paper derives a generalized first law for thin-shell wormholes showing entropy conservation for isolated transparent shells and flux-dependent entropy change when bulk matter crosses the throat.
A constructive algorithm yields NEC-obeying static spherical metrics with g_tt g_rr = -1, including a log-corrected Schwarzschild geometry that can mimic black holes.
