rotational dynamics - A question about the tennis racket theorem with
degenerate eigenvalues $I_1, I_2 , I_3$
If a rigid body has a symmetry such that two of the principal moments of inertia are equals, i.e. $$I_1=I_2> I_3 \qquad{\rm or}\qquad I_1>I_2=I_3.$$ Are the rotations around the principal axes stable?
