A linear stability analysis of a passive droplet in a confined active nematic yields explicit growth rates showing stable and unstable translation and deformation modes in both extensile and contractile systems.
(22) The pressure inside the passive drop is uniform and is dictated by the stress balance (18): p0 = S ln η − ξ2 2η2 + 1 ηCa
