Abstract
The stability of a sheared configuration with high beta is studied by
investigating the normal modes of the linearized magnetohydrodynamic
equations. First, a single ordinary differential equation is obtained
that governs the behavior of modes that are localized around rational
surfaces. In addition, the equation that describes the properties of
ballooning modes is derived.
