It is important to appreciate that <math>~\beta</math> is a dimensionless parameter whose value dictates the relative thickness of the equilibrium torus; slim tori have <math>~\beta \ll 1</math>. <span id="DensityPerturbation2">Finally, Blaes replaced the perturbation variable,</span> <math>~W</math>, preferred by Papaloizou & Pringle (1985) with an equivalent but ''dimensionless'' perturbation variable, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\delta W \equiv \biggl[ \frac{\Omega_0 \rho_\mathrm{max}}{p_\mathrm{max}} \biggr]W </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\Rightarrow</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\rho^'}{\rho_0} = \biggl(\frac{ \bar\sigma }{\gamma_g \Omega_0 } \biggr) \frac{\delta W}{f} = \frac{n}{n+1}\biggl(\frac{\sigma }{\Omega_0 } + m\cdot \frac{\Omega}{\Omega_0}\biggr) \frac{\delta W}{f} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where <math>~\Omega_0</math> is the angular frequency at the pressure and density maximum. [Actually, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] calls this dimensionless variable <math>~W</math>, rather than <math>~\delta W</math>, so care must be taken when published equations from these separate studies are compared.] After working carefully through these modifications — again, see our [[Apps/PapaloizouPringle84#Equivalent_Dimensionless_Expression|accompanying discussion]] for details — Blaes arrives at the governing PDE (his equation 3.2) that is highlighted in the following bordered box. Notice that, in this published expression, <math>~\nu \equiv \sigma/\Omega_0</math>, represents the azimuthal-mode eigenfrequency, normalized to the system's orbital frequency at the origin of the Blaes85 coordinate system. <div align="center" id="EigenvalueBlaes85"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="80%"> <tr><td align="center" bgcolor="lightgreen"> Equation (3.2) extracted without modification from p. 558 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B O.

In general, both the eigenfunction and corresponding eigenfrequency should be treated as complex functions/numbers. As we summarize, below, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] derived analytic expressions that provide ''one approximate'' solution for tori with small, but finite, values of <math>~\beta</math>. But, first, we will briefly review how he derived an entire spectrum of analytically specifiable normal modes in the limit of "slender tori," that is, tori for which <math>~\beta</math> is effectively zero.
