Abstract	This review largely considers the author’s extensions of two foundation works in supersolids: Andreev and Lifshitz’s hydrodynamics, and Leggett’s Non-Classical Rotational Inertia (NCRI) with estimates of the T=0 upper limit. Relative to the case of a perfect lattice, the Andreev and Lifshitz equations contain an additional degree of freedom, which permits a liquid-like internal pressure P that is distinct from the lattice stress (or ‘solid-like pressure’). This is particularly relevant to $^{4}$He, which requires an applied pressure P $_{ a }$ to solidify; use of a Maxwell relation relating P and strain yields that $P\sim P_{a}^{2}$ ; we estimate that near the melting pressure the liquid-like pressure in equilibrium is about 1/4 of the solid-like pressure. This new freedom also permits vacancy diffusion, which we have studied for both ordinary solids and supersolids. In both cases, for the vacancy diffusion mode the liquid-like pressure and the lattice stress cancel. Further, since at T=0 the supersolid fraction f $_{ s }$ is less than unity and the excitation part of the normal fraction is zero, we argue that there must be an additional source of “normal” mass, to which we attribute a velocity that in principle is distinct from the lattice velocity associated with elasticity. Relative to NCRI we have made numerous estimates of the upper limit for the superfluid fraction f $_{ s }$; we find f $_{ s }$ values on the order of 0.2 for realistic models of the atomic density. Correlation effects in the solid cause the superfluid velocity $\vec{v}_{s}$ of one particle to depend on correlations with the positions of other particles, and this leads to a more complex theory for the flow pattern and for the upper limit on f $_{ s }$.
