Abstract
The stability of low temperature magnetic phases of YbIG in dependence on field and temperature is investigated using the model with six Yb sublattices and one saturated Fe sublattice. The conditions for existence of zero-frequency modes are deduced in the analytical form for magnetic fields lying in {110} planes. General results are applied to the case of magnetic field parallel to [111] direction and the existence of a metastability region is shown, where both the colinear as well as the canted phase may occur.
