In spacetimes of dimension greater than four it is natural to consider higher order (in R) corrections to the Einstein equations. In this letter generalized Israel junction conditions for a membrane in such a theory are derived. This is achieved by generalising the Gibbons-Hawking boundary term. The junction conditions are applied to simple brane world models, and are compared to the many contradictory results in the literature.

  1. On mass inflation and thin shells in quasi-topological gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Regular black holes in quasi-topological gravity lack null thin shells in standard distributional theory, invalidating the usual mass inflation derivation and leaving inner horizon stability unresolved.

  2. Rotating Thin Shells in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Rotating thin shells in EGB gravity are either vacuum or carry pressure in one tangential direction only, with motion equations resembling GR continuity; vacuum shells can collapse to naked singularities or form stabl...
