We prove a sharp criterion of spectral stability under these settings. Moreover, we provide several explicit families of stable/unstable equilibria using this criterion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-08T01:56:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "linear stability analysis", "relativistic vlasov-maxwell system", "axisymmetric domain", "general axisymmetric spatial domain", "explicit families" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
