Prof. Dr. Helmut Kaul (Universität Tübingen)

Within the framework of general relativity a star model is treated, consisting of a rotating liquid in the equilibrium of gravitational forces, pressure and centrifugal forces. I show the existence of this model using an energy-minimizing flow, assuming the mass and angular velocity are given.
