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…

For $m\geq 1$ we prove an existence result for the equation $$(-\Delta_g)^m u+\lambda=\lambda\frac{e^{2mu}}{\int_M e^{2mu}d\mu_g}$$ on a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $2m$ for certain values of $\lambda$.
We analyze Ginzburg--Landau minimization problems in two dimensions with either a strong or weak" tangential boundary condition. These problems are motivated by experiments in liquid crystal with boundary defects. In the singular limit when…
