Yang-Mills instanton on a four dimensional wormhole: asymptotic stability in the energy space
In this paper we consider an $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills field propagating in the $4+1$ dimensional wormhole spacetime. Assuming the spherically symmetric magnetic ansatz the problem reduces to a one dimensional non linear wave equation. This equation posses a degree one solution (instanton) which is odd in space. We consider small, odd perturbations of the instanton and show that it is conditionally asymptotically stable in the odd energy space.
