Fluid Flows To Black Holes
A Tribute To S Chandrasekhar On His Birth Centenary
by Dhruba Jyoti Saikia, Virginia Trimble
312 Pages, Published 2011 by World Scientific
ISBN-13: 978-981-4405-27-0, ISBN: 981-4405-27-2

"Friedman, Ipser & Sorkin (1988) point out the symmetry between M0 and J that implies the maximum-J form of the theorem, and Cook, Shapiro & Teukolsky ( 1992) first use the theorem in this form. For rotating stars, the turning point criterion is a sufficient condition for secular instability to collapse. In general, however, collapse can be expected to involve differential rotation, and the turning point identifies only nearby unifor ..."
