Scientific paper

Exact solutions are given for Einstein's equations containing two colliding planar shells of matter which divide spacetime into four regions, three of which are flat. The solution corresponding to a single planar shell of null matter is given, and two ways of colliding such shells are considered. The global structure of these solutions is analyzed, and Penrose diagrams for them are constructed. A more general argument which includes both of these models as special cases is given in the appendix, as well as an exhaustive treatment of the possible cases.
