Abstract
The case of a domain wall of finite thickness is examined by use of two different expressions for the energy-stress tensor of domain walls but no symmetry condition. It is found that the equations of general relativity show that such walls cannot be in static equilibrium, and further even nonequilibrium walls can be consistent with Einstein’s equations only under very special circumstances.
