Abstract

We show that the regularity of the gravitational metric tensor in spher- ically symmetric spacetimes cannot be lifted from C0,1 to C1,1 within the class of C1,1 coordinate transformations in a neighborhood of a point of shock wave inter- action in General Relativity, without forcing the determinant of the metric tensor to vanish at the point of interaction. This is in contrast to Israel’s Theorem ...
