Abstract
The behaviour of magnetic monopole solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mill s-Higgs equations subject to Linear spherically symmetric perturbation s is studied. Using Jacobi's criterion some of the monopoles are shown to be unstable. Furthermore the numerical results and analytical cons iderations indicate the existence of a set of stable solutions.
