Abstract
The matching between two four-dimensional PP-waves is discussed by using Israel's matching conditions. Physical consequences on the dynamics of (cosmic) strings are analysed. The extension to spacetime of arbitrary dimension is discussed and some interesting features related to the braneworld scenario, BPS states in gravity and Dirac-like quantization conditions are briefly described.
