... plateau

This denomination refers to the remarkably constant and flat lithium abundances among the metal-poor galactic halo dwarfs with effective temperature between $\sim$5700 and 6300 K.

...R

This differential rotation is somewhat smaller than the value used in Paper I. In the figures, points corresponding to Pop I stars are calculated using the same model as those in Paper I, but with the new preferred value for the differential rotation.

This will be the case if differential rotation is of the same order as $\omega$ and $K_{\rm T}$ is large enough.

$\nu _{\rm max}$, the maximum frequency required to capture the wave-mean flow interaction, is determined empirically.

...2003a)

In all the globular clusters studied up to now, all the HB stars hotter than  $T_{\rm eff} \sim 11~500$ K have $v\sin i \leq$ 8-12 km s^-1 (Recio-Blanco et al. 2002). Among the cooler HB stars, there is a range of rotation rates and fast rotators appear.

... rotation

In view of the solar data, Sills & Pinsonneault (2000) favor the class of models with constant specific angular momentum (i.e., differential rotation) in giant branch envelopes, retention of a rapidly rotating core on the RGB and subsequent angular momentum redistribution from the core to the envelope on the HB. Even this class of models requires relatively high surface rotation ($\sim$4 km s^-1) at the main sequence turnoff to explain the high rotation rates for the cooler HB stars.
