We study the periodic modified KdV equation, where a periodic in space and time breather solution is known from the work of Kevrekidis et al. [19]. We show that these breathers satisfy a suitable elliptic equation, and we also discuss via numerics its spectral stability. We also identify a source of nonlinear instability for the case described in [19], and we conjecture that, even if spectral stability is satisfied, nonlinear stability/instability depends only on the sign of a suitable discriminant function, a condition that is trivially satisfied in the case of non-periodic (in space) mKdV breathers. Finally, we present a new class of breather solution for mKdV, believed to exist from geometric considerations, and which is periodic in time and space, but has nonzero mean, unlike standard breathers.
