Stability of solutions of Yang-Mills equations with axially symmetric static external sources

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6044581
Axially symmetric solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills equations with static external sources are discussed. It is pointed out that for the axially symmetric ansatz the Coulomb solution is always unstable. The third branch of the new Coulomb solution presented in a recent paper, emanating from the bifurcation point, is shown to have no physical implication for the understanding of the stability of the Coulomb solutions in nonabelian gauge theories. 6 references.
