This paper gives a rigorous derivation
of a functional proposed by Aftalion and Rivière [Phys. Rev. A64 (2001) 043611]
to characterize the energy of vortex filaments
in a rotationally forced Bose-Einstein condensate. This
functional is derived as a Γ-limit
of scaled versions of the Gross-Pitaevsky
functional for the wave function of such a condensate. In most situations,
the vortex filament energy functional is either unbounded below
or has only trivial minimizers, but
we establish the existence of large numbers of nontrivial
local minimizers and we prove that, given any such
local minimizer, the Gross-Pitaevsky functional
has a local minimizer that is nearby (in a suitable sense) whenever a scaling
parameter is sufficiently small.
