Stability analysis of non-Abelian electric fields
ORAL
Abstract
We study the stability of fluctuations around a homogeneous non-Abelian electric field background that is of a form that is protected from Schwinger pair production. Our analysis identifies the unstable modes and we find a limiting set of parameters for which there are no instabilities. We discuss the potential implications of our analysis for confining strings in non-Abelian gauge theories.
