Write the perturbations as , set , and evaluate all unmarked background quantities at . Define
The linearized mass conservation equation is
The radial and azimuthal momentum equations are
where 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
