On the stability of the Quantum Hall Soliton

In this note we investigate the stability of the classical ground state of the Quantum Hall Soliton proposed recently in hep-th/0010105. We explore tw o possible perturbations which are not spherically symmetric and we find th at the potential energy decreases in both case. This implies that the syste m either decays or is dynamically stabilized (because of the presence of ma gnetic fields). If one makes an extra assumption that in the real quantum t reatment of the problem string ends and D0-branes move together (as electro ns and vortices in the Quantum Hall effect), a static equilibrium configura tion is possible.
