We consider the Ginzburg-Landau equation in the plane linearized around the standard degree-one vortex solution $W(x)=w(r)e^{i\theta}$. Using explicit representation formulae for the Fourier modes in $\theta$, we obtain sharp estimates for…
The dynamics of vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute cold atoms can be well formulated by Gross-Pitaevskii equation. To better understand the properties of vortices, a systematic method to solve the nonlinear differential…
We study the generalized point-vortex problem and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation on surfaces of revolution. We find rotating periodic solutions to the generalized point-vortex problem, which have two two rings of $n$ equally spaced vortices…
We construct, for the first time, Abelian-Higgs vortices on certain compact surfaces of constant negative curvature. Such surfaces are represented by a tessellation of the hyperbolic plane by regular polygons. The Higgs field is given…
One field of fluid dynamics concerns the search for variational principles. So far, the Hamiltonian view and Riemannian geometry has been applied to find geodesics for hydrodynamic systems. Compared to Riemannian geometry sub-Riemannian…
This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness of the two-dimensional incompressible vorticity equation in the half plane. Under the assumption that the initial vorticity $\omega_0\in W^{k,p}(\R^{2}_+)$ with $k\geq3$ and $1<p<2$, it…
As a model for vortex-wall interactions, we consider the two-dimensional incompressible Navier--Stokes equations in the half-plane $R^2_+$ with no-slip boundary condition and point vortices as initial data. We focus on the paradigmatic…
We observe that the comparison result of Barles-Biton-Ley for viscosity solutions of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations can be applied to a geometric fully nonlinear parabolic equation which arises from the graphic solutions for the…
We have used two-fluid dynamics to study the discrepancy between the work of Thouless, Ao and Niu (TAN) and that of Iordanskii. In TAN no transverse force on a vortex due to normal fluid flow was found, whereas the earlier work found a…
The two papers in the title contain some equations that are not complete. The missing terms, which are of topological origin, were recently unveiled by Bjorn Gustafsson. In this note we present the equations of Gustafsson in the case of a…
Electrodynamic phenomena related to vortices in superconductors have been studied since their prediction by Abrikosov, and seem to hold no fundamental mysteries. However, most of the effects are treated separately, with no guiding…
The vortex-wave system describes the motion of a two-dimensional ideal fluid in which the vorticity includes continuously distributed vorticity, which is called the background vorticity, and a finite number of concentrated vortices. In this…
We study the Ginzburg-Landau model with a nonlocal quartic term as a simple phenomenological model for superconductors in the presence of coupling between the vortex lattice and the underlying crystal lattice. In mean-field theory, our…
It is shown that the complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation on the real line admits nontrivial $2\pi$-periodic vortex solutions that have $2n$ simple zeros (``vortices'') per period. The vortex solutions bifurcate from the trivial solution…
The isentropic vortex problem is frequently solved to test the accuracy of numerical methods and verify corresponding code. Unfortunately, its existing solution was derived in the relativistic magnetohydrodynamics by numerically solving an…
In this note, we establish Yudovich's existence and uniqueness result for bounded (as well as mildly unbounded) vorticity weak solution of the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations. As a biproduct of our proof, we establish some…
We investigate the vortex lattice solution in a (2+1)-dimensional holographic model of superconductors constructed from a charged scalar condensate. The solution is obtained perturbatively near the second-order phase transition and is a…
The cubic-vortical Whitham equation is a model for wave motion on a vertically sheared current of constant vorticity in a shallow inviscid fluid. It generalizes the classical Whitham equation by allowing constant vorticity and by adding a…
We introduce a new method of statistical analysis to characterise the dynamics of turbulent fluids in two dimensions. We establish that, in equilibrium, the vortex distributions can be uniquely connected to the temperature of the vortex…
We prove existence of Abrikosov vortex lattice solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations in two dimensions, for magnetic fields larger than but close to the first critical magnetic field.
