Instability threshold of a gravitating particle lattice

For $q=GmF(hk)/(h^3{\Omega }^2)$, the squared dimensionless growth rates are $s^2/{\Omega }^2=(q-1\pm \sqrt{9q^2-26q+1})/2$. Exponential growth begins for $q>(13-4\sqrt{10})/9$. Since the gravitating lattice Fourier kernel is largest at $hk=\pi$, the full infinite lattice is exponentially unstable when $Gm/(h^3{\Omega }^2)>(13-4\sqrt{10})/[9F(\pi )]$. Marginal repeated imaginary roots and zero-frequency secular modes require separate treatment.
