We consider the nonlinear Dirac equation, also known as the Soler model: We study the point spectrum of linearizations at small amplitude solitary waves in the limit 蠅→m$蠅\to m$, proving that if k>2/n$k>2/n$, then one positive and one negative eigenvalue are present in the spectrum of the linearizations at these solitary waves with 蠅 sufficiently close to m, so that these solitary waves are linearly unstable. The approach is based on applying the Rayleigh–Schrödinger perturbation theory to the nonrelativistic limit of the equation. The results are in formal agreement with the Vakhitov–Kolokolov stability criterion.
