Abstract
The stability of a rotating nuclear liquid drop against pear-like deformations is studied within the optimal shape theory of Strutinsky et al (1963 Nucl. Phys.46 639). It is found that such a break-up of reflection symmetric shapes appears in light nuclei at high angular momenta when non-axial degrees of freedom are taken into account.
