Abstract
In this paper the behaviour of centrifugal forces in neutron stars is discu ssed. It is demonstrated that centrifugal force inversion can occur fbr neu tron stars, although most realistic equations of state do not allow this to happen. The general behaviour of centrifugal forces and angular momentum t ransfer for very massive and compact neutron stars (with and without centri fugal force inversion) is presented graphically. This leads eventually to a n innovative treatment of the glitch phenomenon in neutron stars.
