Γ–CONVERGENCE OF 2D GINZBURG-LANDAU FUNCTIONALS WITH VORTEX CONCENTRATION ALONG CURVES

Vincent Millot

Résumé

We study the variational convergence of a family of two-dimensional Ginzburg- Landau functionals arising in the study of superfluidity or thin-film superconductivity, as the Ginzburg-Landau parameter ε tends to 0. In this regime and for large enough applied rotations (for superfluids) or magnetic fields (for superconductors), the minimizers acquire quantized point singularities (vortices). We focus on situations in which an unbounded number of vortices accumulate along a prescribed Jordan curve or a simple arc in the domain. This is known to occur in a circular annulus under uniform rotation, or in a simply connected domain with an appropriately chosen rotational vector field. We prove that, suitably normalized, the energy functionals Γ-converge to a classical energy from potential theory. Applied to global minimizers, our results describe the limiting distribution of vortices along the curve in terms of Green equilibrium measures.
