摘要
I show that there are no SU( 2)-invariant ( time-dependent) tensorial perturbations of Lorentzian Taub-NUT space. It follows that the spacetime is unstable at the linear level against generic perturbations. The difficulty of formulating a physically reasonable thermodynamics for Taub-NUT space is discussed.
