Abstract: We study energy conditions for non-timelike massive thin shells in arbitrary n(ge3) dimensions. It is shown that the induced energy-momentum tensor tmuu on a shell Sigma is of the Hawking-Ellis type I if Sigma is spacelike and either of type I, II, or III if Sigma is null. Then, we derive simple equivalent representations of the standard energy conditions for tmuu. In particular, on a spacelike shell or on a null shell with non-vanishing surface current, tmuu inevitably violates the dominant energy condition. Those fully general results are obtained without imposing a spacetime symmetry and can be used in any theory of gravity. Lastly, several applications of the main results are presented in general relativity in four dimensions.
