Abstract: We consider the nonlinear Dirac equation, also known as the Soler model: $$, $psi(x,t)inmathbb{C}^N$, $xinmathbb{R}^n$, $nle3$, $finCsp2(R)$, where $alph{a}_j$, $j=1,\mathrm{...},n$, and $$ are $NimesN$ Hermitian matrices which satisfy $$, $$, $alph{a}_{j}alph{a}_k+alph{a}_{k}alph{a}_j=2delt{a}_{jk}{I}_N$. We study the spectral stability of solitary wave solutions $phi(x)e^{-iomegat}$. We study the point spectrum of linearizations at solitary waves that bifurcate from NLS solitary waves in the limit $omegaom$, proving that if $k>2/n$, then one positive and one negative eigenvalue are present in the spectrum of the linearizations at these solitary waves with $omega$ sufficiently close to $m$, so that these solitary waves are linearly unstable. The approach is based on applying the Rayleigh--Schroedinger perturbation theory to the nonrelativistic limit of the equation. The results are in formal agreement with the Vakhitov--Kolokolov stability criterion.
