We compute the second inner variation of the Abelian Yang--Mills--Higgs and Ginzburg--Landau energies. Given a sequence of critical points with energy measures converging to a codimension $2$ minimal submanifold, we use the second inner…
We consider the magnetic Ginzburg-Landau equations in a compact manifold $N$ $$ \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^2 \Delta^{A} u=\frac{1}{2}(1-|u|^2)u,\\ \varepsilon^2 d^*dA=\langle\nabla^A u,iu\rangle \end{cases} $$ formally corresponding to the…
It is well-known that under suitable hypotheses, for a sequence of solutions of the (simplified) Ginzburg-Landau equations $-\Delta u_\varepsilon +\varepsilon^{-2}(|u_\varepsilon|^2-1)u_\varepsilon = 0$, the energy and vorticity concentrate…
We establish a glueing theorem for the Ginzburg-Landau equations in dimension $n > 2$. To this end, we consider a nondegenerate minimal submanifold of codimension 2, and construct a one-parameter family of solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau…
We establish a new estimate for the Ginzburg-Landau energies $E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{1}{2}|du|^2+\frac{1}{4\epsilon^2}(1-|u|^2)^2$ of complex-valued maps $u$ on a compact, oriented manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)\neq 0$, obtained by…
Given two Riemannian manifolds $M$ and $N\subset\mathbb{R}^L$, we consider the energy concentration phenomena of the penalized energy functional $$E_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_M\frac{\vert\nabla u\vert^2}{2}+\frac{F(u)}{\epsilon^2},u\in…
The area renormalization procedure gives an invariant of even-dimensional closed submanifolds in a conformal manifold, which we call the Graham-Witten energy, and it is a generalization of the classical Willmore energy. In this paper, we…
We investigate existence, uniqueness and asymptotic behavior of minimizers of a family of non-local energy functionals of the type $$ \frac{1}{4}\iint_{\mathbb{R}^{2n}\setminus (\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Omega)^2}|u(x)-u(y)|^2 K(x-y) \,dx dy…
In this short remark on a previous paper \cite{SZ25}, we continue the study of Allen-Cahn equations associated with Ginzburg-Landau energies \begin{equation*} J(v,\Omega)=\int_{\Omega}\Big\{F(\nabla v,v,x)+W(v,x)\Big\}dx, \end{equation*}…
We study the asymptotic behaviour, as a small parameter $\varepsilon$ tends to zero, of minimisers of a Ginzburg-Landau type energy with a nonlinear penalisation potential vanishing on a compact submanifold $\mathcal{N}$ and with a given…
For a sequence of extrinsic or intrinsic biharmonic maps $u_j: M_j\rightarrow N$ from a sequence of non-collapsed degenerating closed Einstein 4-manifolds $(M_j,g_j)$ with bounded Einstein constants, bounded diameters and bounded $L^2$…
We use min-max techniques to produce nontrivial solutions $u_{\epsilon}:M\to \mathbb{R}^2$ of the Ginzburg-Landau equation $\Delta u_{\epsilon}+\frac{1}{\epsilon^2}(1-|u_{\epsilon}|^2)u_{\epsilon}=0$ on a given compact Riemannian manifold,…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of minimisers of the Ginzburg-Landau functional for $\mathbb{R}^n$-valued maps under a suitable convexity assumption on the potential and for $H^{1/2} \cap L^\infty$ boundary…
A conformally invariant generalization of the Willmore energy for compact immersed submanifolds of even dimension in a Riemannian manifold is derived and studied. The energy arises as the coefficient of the log term in the renormalized area…

We show that certain functions whose nodal sets lie near a fixed nondegenerate minimal hypersurface satisfy a strong min-max principle for the Allen--Cahn energy which is analogous to the strong min-max principle for non-degenerate minimal…
On a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary we consider the variational limit of a family of functionals given by the sum of two terms: a Ginzburg-Landau and a perimeter term. Our scaling allows low-energy states to be…
