Well-posedness for mean-field evolutions arising in superconductivity

Analysis of PDEs 2017-11-28 v2

Abstract

We establish the existence of a global solution for a new family of fluid-like equations, which are obtained in a joint work with Serfaty in certain regimes as the mean-field evolution of the supercurrent density in a (2D section of a) type-II superconductor with pinning and with imposed electric current. We also consider general vortex-sheet initial data, and investigate the uniqueness and regularity properties of the solution. For some choice of parameters, the equation under investigation coincides with the so-called lake equation from 2D shallow water fluid dynamics, and our analysis then leads to a new existence result for rough initial data.
