Abstract
Using the weakly nonlinear theory, we analyse the stability and relati ve stability of transverse patterns appearing in a passive Kerr cavity . We show that the hexagonal H0 structures are stable in the vicinity of the Turing bifurcation point. Numerical simulations confirm the ana lytical predictions.
