Abstract
We study the leading- (LO) and the next-to-leading-order (NLO) stability of multipole perturbations for a static dielectric M2-brane with spherical topology in the 11-dimensional maximally supersymmetric plane-wave background. We observe a cascade of instabilities that originates from the dipole () and quadrupole () sectors (the only unstable sectors of the LO) and propagates toward all the multipoles of the NLO.
