Abstract

We prove the non-linear stability of a large class of spherically symmetric equilibrium solutions of both the collisionless Boltzmann equation and of the Euler equations in MOND. This is the first such stability result that is proven with mathematical rigour in MOND. While we strive to prove our stability theorems, we develop new, genuinely Mondian ideas on how arising mathematical difficulties can be solved. At some points it was necessary to restrict our analysis to spherical symmetry. We discuss every point where this extra assumption was necessary and outline which efforts must be undertaken to get along without it in future works. In the end we show in the example of a polytropic model how our stability result can be applied.
