Stability of solutions to the classical SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with external sources

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
Stability of solutions to the classical SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with prescribed static sources is studied. It was found before that there existed a number of bifurcating solutions to the SU(3) gauge group equations. The stability of some of these is considered before by showing explicitly their instability. For the rest it is only said that they share stability properties of solutions at the bifurcation point. These solutions are shown here to be absolutely stable under small radial oscillations. The possible consequences of the result are discussed.
