Chromomagnetic stability of the three flavor Larkin–Ovchinnikov–Fulde–Ferrell phase of QCD

We compute in the Ginzburg–Landau approximation the gluon Meissner masses for the Larkin–Ovchinnikov–Fulde–Ferrell (LOFF) phase of QCD with three flavors in the kinematical range where it is energetically favored. We find real Meissner masses and therefore chromomagnetic stability.
