| Abstract: | We examine the three sets of junction conditions commonly used in general relativity: those due to Darmois, to O'Brien and Synge, and to Lichnerowicz. We show that those due to Darmois and Lichnerowicz are equivalent. The O'Brien and Synge set is stronger than the other two and is unsatisfactory in that it may rule out physically plausible junctions. We conclude that the Darmois set is the most convenient and reliable. |
