Write the perturbations as , set , and evaluate all unmarked background quantities at . DefineThe linearized mass conservation equation isThe radial and azimuthal momentum equations arewhere the razor-thin disk Poisson kernel gives . The term proportional to comes from perturbing the density-dependent background shear stress .
Eliminating and using , so that the radial epicyclic frequency obeys , gives the dispersion relation
