Thin shells in general relativity can be used both as models of collapsing objects and as probes in the space-time outside compact sources. Therefore they provide a useful tool for the analysis of the final fate of collapsing matter and of the effects induced in the matter by strong gravitational fields. We describe the radiating shell as a (second quantized) many-body system with one collective degree of freedom, the (average) radius, by means of an effective action which also entails a thermodynamic description. Then we study some of the quantum effects that occur in the matter when the shell evolves from an (essentially classical) large initial radius towards the singularity and compute the corresponding backreaction on its trajectory.
