Abstract
Through Birkhoff's theorem it is shown that there are three planar wal
ls with time-independent surface energy density, the Taub, Kasner, and
Vilenkin walls. Under certain conditions Vilenkin's planar wall is un
ique. In analogy with the planar case a family of axisymmetric walls a
re analyzed and compared.
