The spherically symmetric thin shells are the nearest generalizations of the point-like particles. Moreover, they serve as the simple sources of the gravitational fields both in General Relativity and much more complex quadratic gravity theories. We are interested in the special and physically important case when all the quadratic in curvature tensor (Riemann tensor) and its contractions (Ricci tensor and scalar curvature) terms are present in the form of the square of Weyl tensor. By definition, the energy–momentum tensor of the thin shell is proportional to Diracs delta-function. We constructed the theory of the spherically symmetric thin shells for three types of gravitational theories with the shell: (1) General Relativity; (2) Pure conformal (Weyl) gravity where the gravitational part of the total Lagrangian is just the square of the Weyl tensor; (3) Weyl–Einstein gravity. The results are compared with these in General Relativity (Israel equations). We considered in detail the shells immersed in the vacuum. Some peculiar properties of such shells are found. In particular, for the traceless ([Formula: see text] massless) shell, it is shown that their dynamics cannot be derived from the matching conditions and, thus, is completely arbitrary. On the contrary, in the case of the Weyl–Einstein gravity, the trajectory of the same type of shell is completely restored even without knowledge of the outside solution.

The Weyl method for finding solutions in general relativity using symmetry by varying an action with respect to a reduced set of field variables is known to fail in some cases. We add to the list of failures by considering an application of the Weyl method to a magnetically charged spherically symmetric source, obtaining an incorrect geometry. This is surprising, because the same method, applied to electrically charged central bodies correctly produces the Reissner-Nordström spacetime.

Black hole solutions in higher dimensional Einstein and Einstein–Maxwell gravity have been discussed by Tangherlini as well as Myers and Perry a long time ago. These solutions are the generalizations of the familiar Schwarzschild, Reissner–Nordström and Kerr solutions of four-dimensional general relativity. However, higher dimensional generalization of the Kerr–Newman solution in four dimensions has not been found yet. As a first step in this direction we shall report on a new solution of the Einstein–Maxwell system of equations that describes an electrically charged and slowly rotating black hole in five dimensions.


The problem of charged dust rotating about an axis of symmetry is considered both in Newtonian physics and in general relativity. The Newtonian problem is reduced to a single equation in the case of constant rotation, and to two coupled equations in the case of differential rotation, and some explicit cylindrically symmetric solutions are obtained. In general relativity some new cylindrically symmetric exact solutions for constant rotation are derived, and the problem of differential rotation is reduced to four coupled equations for four unknowns.


An earlier paper considered the problem of differentially rotating charged dust in Newtonian physics and in general relativity. The problem was reduced to two coupled equations for two unknowns in Newtonian physics and to six coupled equations for five unknowns in general relativity. In the present paper the Newtonian problem is reduced to a single equation which becomes determinate once an arbitrary function of one variable is specified, and in general relativity the problem is reduced to a system of three coupled equations for three unknowns which becomes determinate once an arbitrary function of one variable is specified.
