Abstract

We investigate the stability of general relativistic uniformly rotating white dwarfs against secular and dynamical instabilities. We determine the minimum rotation period of stable white dwarfs depending on chemical composition of the white dwarf matter taking into account the Coulomb interactions as well as the nuclear interactions and the electroweak equilibrium at high densities, within the relativistic Feynman-Metropolis-Teller equation of state.
