Asymptotics for the minimization of a Ginzburg-Landau energy in n dimensions

Paweł Strzelecki — 1996

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that minimizers u W 1 , n of the functional E ( u ) = 1 / n | u | n d x + 1 / ( 4 n ) ( 1 - | u | 2 ) 2 d x , ⊂ n , n ≥ 3, which satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition u = g on for g: → S n - 1 with zero topological degree, converge in W 1 , n and C l o c α for any α<1 - upon passing to a subsequence k 0 - to some minimizing n-harmonic map. This is a generalization of an earlier result obtained for n=2 by Bethuel, Brezis, and Hélein. An example of nonunique asymptotic behaviour (which cannot occur in two dimensions if deg g = 0) is presented.
