The exact spectrum as function of the chromo-magnetic fields and curvature is derived. We examine the behavior of the spectrum, and find that there is a maximal value for the magnetic field $H_{\rm max}\sim M_{\rm Plank}^2$. At this value all states that couple to the magnetic field become infinitely massive and decouple. We also find tachyonic instabilities for strong background fields of the order ${\cal O}(μM_{\rm Plank})$ where $μ$ is the mass gap of the theory. Unlike the field theory case, we find that such ground states become stable again for magnetic fields of the order ${\cal O}(M^2_{\rm Plank})$. The implications of these results are discussed.To appear in the proceedings of the Conference on Gauge Theories, Applied Supersymmetry and Quantum Gravity, Leuven, July 1995High Energy Physics - TheoryInstabilities in Strong Magnetic Fields in String Theorytext
