It is clear, therefore, that Chandrasekhar uses the variable <math>~\vec{u}</math> instead of <math>~\vec{v}</math> to represent the inertial velocity field. More importantly, he adopts a different variable name and a different sign convention to represent the gravitational potential, specifically,

<math>~ - \Phi = \mathfrak{B} </math>

<math>~=</math>

<math>~ G \int\limits_V \frac{\rho(\vec{x}^{~'})}{|\vec{x} - \vec{x}^{~'}|} d^3x^' \, .</math>

Hence, care must be taken to ensure that the signs on various mathematical terms are internally consistent when mapping derivations and resulting expressions from [EFE] into this H_Book.

… which expresses simply the conservation of the angular momentum of the system. The symmetric part of the tensor expression gives what is generally referred to as (see [EFE] for details) the,

Tensor Virial Equation

<math>~\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 I_{ij}}{dt^2}</math>

<math>~=</math>

<math>~2 \mathfrak{T}_{ij} + \mathfrak{W}_{ij} + \delta_{ij}\Pi \, ,</math>

[EFE], p. 23, Eq. (51)
[BT87], p. 213, Eq. (4-78)
