Stationary motion of a self-gravitating toroidal incompressible liquid layer

We consider an incompressible fluid contained in a toroidal stratum which is only subjected to Newtonian self-attraction. Under the assumption of infinitesimal thickness of the stratum we show the existence of stationary motions during which the stratum is approximately a round torus (with radii r, R and R a parts per thousand << r) that rotates around its axis and at the same time rolls on itself. Therefore each particle of the stratum describes an helix-like trajectory around the circumference of radius R that connects the centers of the cross sections of the torus.
