Abstract
Sequences of infinitesimally thin, uniformly rotating, self-gravitating relativistic discs with internal two-dimensional pressure have been constructed. It is shown that in weaker relativistic configurations the sequences undergo a continuous bifurcation from a disc to a ring structure, while in stronger relativistic cases the sequences terminate at the mass-shed limit where gravitational forces are exactly balanced by centrifugal forces.
