Abstract

We consider line-energy models of Ginzburg-Landau type in a two-dimensional simply-connected bounded domain. Configurations of vanishing energy have been characterized by Jabin, Otto and Perthame: the domain must be a disk, and the configuration a vortex. We prove a quantitative version of this statement in the class of C1,1C^{1,1} domains, improving on previous results by Lorent. In particular, the deviation of the domain from a disk is controlled by a power of the energy, and that power is optimal. The main tool is a Lagrangian representation introduced by the second author, which allows to decompose the energy along characteristic curves.
