Asymptotic stability analysis for \(\mathrm{SU}(n)\) dark monopoles. (English) Zbl 1458.81047

Summary: We analyze the asymptotic stability of the \(SU(n)\) Dark Monopole solutions and we show that there are unstable modes associated with them. We obtain the explicit form of the unstable perturbations and the associated negative-squared eigenfrequencies.
