Review text

The authors study multidimensional shock waves via a study of the relativistic Euler equations. The problem of generalizing the famous Oppenheimer-Snyder model for gravitational collapse in the stars to the case with non-zero pressure, posed by Oppenheimer and Snyder in 1939, is solved. Simplifying features of the Einstein equations over the classical Euler equations allow the explicit construction of shock wave solutions. In contrast to the contact discontinuity of the Oppenheimer-Snyder solution one gets time-irreversible shock wave solutions in the case of non-zero pressure. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00036].
