Phys. Rev. D 65, 125010 (2002) [7 pages]Self-gravitating domain walls and the thin-wall limitReceived 27 February 2002; published 4 June 2002 We analyze the distributional thin-wall limit of self-gravitating scalar field configurations representing thick domain wall geometries. We show that thick-wall solutions can be generated by appropiate scaling of the thin-wall ones, and obtain an exact solution for a domain wall that interpolates between AdS4 asymptotic vacua and has a well-defined thin-wall limit. Solutions representing scalar field configurations obtained via the same scaling but that do not have a thin-wall limit are also presented. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
