Abstract
Using the blackfold approach, we study the classical stability of the KPV (Kachru-Pearson-Verlinde) state of anti-D3 branes at the tip of the Klebanov-Strassler throat. With regards to generic long-wavelength deformations considered, we found no instabilities. We comment on the relation of our results to existing results on the stability of the KPV state.
