TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that no static nonsingular solution of the general relativity equations exists for the gravitational field of an uniformly planar matter distribution under very general assumptions.

Supergravity Domain Walls

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the status of domain walls in N = 1 supergravity theories for the vacuum domain walls as well as dilatonic domain walls and provide a systematic analysis of the space-time in these domain wall backgrounds and the special role that supersymmetry is playing in determining the nature of such configurations.

On the sources of static plane symmetric vacuum space-times

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the counterpart of the Einstein theory to the gravitational field of a massive Newtonian plane should be described by the Rindler solution, which represents also a uniform gravitational field, and the test particles moving in which have constant accelerations.

Supergravity Domain Walls

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of domain walls in supergravity theories for both the vacuum domain walls as well as dilatonic domain walls is reviewed and a systematic analysis of the nature of the space-time in such domain wall backgrounds is presented.

A new class of plane symmetric solution

TL;DR: In this article, a new class of static plane symmetric solution of the Einstein field equation generated by a perfect fluid source is proposed and the constraints on the parameters by different energy conditions are studied.

Gravitational field of vacuum domain walls

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact solution of Einstein's equations describing the gravitational field of a plane vacuum domain wall was found, which has event horizons, has no true geometric singularities, and is locally flat everywhere except on the wall itself.

A plane symmetric solution of Einstein's field equations of general relativity containing zero-rest-mass scalar fields

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact static solution of Einstein's field equations of general relativity in the presence of zero-rest-mass scalar fields has been obtained when both the metric tensor gij and the zero-position scalar field φ exhibit plane symmetry in the sense of Taub [9].

Domain walls of finite thickness in general relativity

TL;DR: The case of a domain wall of finite thickness is examined and it is found that the equations of general relativity show that such walls cannot be in static equilibrium, and further even nonequilibrium walls can be consistent with Einstein's equations only under very special circumstances.

Non-reflection-symmetric gravitational field of domain walls

TL;DR: In this article, non-reflection-symmetric solutions for the gravitational field of domain walls are derived and the vacuum solutions outside of the walls are the static Kasner solution.

Static Planar Domain Wall in General Relativity with a Cosmological Constant

TL;DR: In this article, the existence of a static planar domain wall in the case of a negative cosmological constant was proved. But the authors used a simple scalar field to obtain the thin-wall approximation.
