	abstract = {We use the three potential description (3PD) to study the oscillatory dynamics of rotating stars.\&nbsp;The 3PD scheme describes the exact \&nbsp;linearized dynamics of rotating, self-gravitating, stratified,\&nbsp;compressible and inviscid fluids. We compute the frequencies and the displacement\&nbsp;eigenfunctions for some of the inertial and gravity modes of polytropic \&nbsp;star models. The\&nbsp;Coriolis force is the restoring force for the inertial modes while the gravity modes are induced\&nbsp;by the buoyancy forces. We show that the frequencies of the inertial modes of these star models\&nbsp;may be significantly different from those of a homogeneous and \&nbsp;incompressible model, an\&nbsp;approximation usually made to compute the frequencies of the inertial modes of rapidly\&nbsp;rotating stars. We will also investigate the effects of rotation on the frequencies of the gravity\&nbsp;modes of these models. In order to test the validity and the accuracy of the \&nbsp;results from our\&nbsp;approach, we compare the eigenfrequencies of some of the gravito-inertial modes of these\&nbsp;models, computed using the 3PD, to those in the literature.\&nbsp;},
