Abstract
The nonlinear interaction between random phase photons and sound waves in ultra-relativistically hot electron-positron plasmas is considered . The modulational instability of a broad photon spectrum is investiga ted. Explicit expressions for the growth rates are obtained in limitin g cases. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
