Description

Israel's (Israel, W., 1966, Nuovo Cim., vol.44, 1-14) method for treating surface layers in general relativity is applied to construct shell sources for exterior static axially symmetric gravitational fields. Consideration is restricted to cases in which the 3-cylinder representing the history of the shell is an equipotential surface of the exterior field and consequently the space-time inside this 3-cylinder is flat.
