Abstract

In section I the general problem of stellar rotation is discussed, and a special formulation, taking ac- count of the viscous forces in a restricted form, is given. The corresponding equations are set down in section II, and the first-order perturbation method for their solution is discussed in section III. For the special case of the standard model in slow rotation the equations are given in section IV and solved in sections V and VI. The solution is found to be unique and to correspond to a solid-body rotation
