Abstract
We discuss the stability of three-dimensional planar Langmuir solitons which are solutions of both the correct Zakharov equations and the simplified, curl-free equations which many authors have considered. We resolve the differences between various results obtained by different authors, show that the simplified equations used by them are unlikely to be a good approximation, and estimate the growth rates for the case of the exact equations.
