Timelike shock waves in a generic matter-energy field in general relativity

Timelike shock waves for a generic matter-energy field are studied under different structural conditions for the space time, based upon the existence of Ricci collineations and Killing vectors. The conservation of the timelike kind of a wave is also studied.
