Integrating the Keplerian accretion disk diffusion equation gives dJ/dt=6πGM⋆​​[r3/2∂r​(νˉΣ)]innerouter​ when the angular-momentum integral and boundary limits are legitimate. An inner zero-torque inner boundary condition alone does not eliminate the outer angular-momentum flux. For divergent total J, use finite-radius cutoffs before making a conservation claim.
