==Poincaré-Wavre Theorem== As [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>] points out — see his pp. 78 - 81 — Poincaré and Wavre were the first to, effectively, prove the following theorem: <table border="0" align="center" width="75%" cellpadding="5"> <tr><td align="left">For rotating, self-gravitating configurations<font color="darkgreen"> "any of the following statements implies the three others: (i) the angular velocity is a constant over cylinders centered about the axis of rotation, (ii) the effective gravity can be derived from a potential, (iii) the effective gravity is normal to the isopycnic surfaces, (iv) the isobaric- and isopycnic-surfaces coincide." </font></td></tr> </table> Among other things, this implies that for rotating barotropic configurations not only is the equation of state given by a function of the form, <math>~P = P(\rho)</math>, but it must also be true that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\partial \dot\varphi}{\partial z}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 \, .</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], §4.3, Eq. (30) </td> </tr> </table> </div> NOTE: We should investigate how this theorem comes into play in the context of our [[ThreeDimensionalConfigurations/RiemannTypeI#Riemann_Type_1_Ellipsoids|accompanying discussion of Type 1 Riemann ellipsoids]]. These are equilibrium triaxial, uniform-density configurations in which the system's internal vorticity vector does not align with the tumble-axis of the ellipsoid and, therefore apparently <math>~\dot\varphi</math> is not independent of <math>~z</math>.
