Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations in high dimensions and codimension two area minimizing currents

Fanghua Lin, Tristan Rivière (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

There is an obvious topological obstruction for a finite energy unimodular harmonic extension of a S 1 -valued function defined on the boundary of a bounded regular domain of R n . When such extensions do not exist, we use the Ginzburg-Landau relaxation procedure. We prove that, up to a subsequence, a sequence of Ginzburg-Landau minimizers, as the coupling parameter tends to infinity, converges to a unimodular harmonic map away from a codimension-2 minimal current minimizing the area within the homology...

Concentration phenomena of two-vortex solutions in a Chern-Simons model

By considering an abelian Chern-Simons model, we are led to study the existence of solutions of the Liouville equation with singularities on a flat torus. A non-existence and degree counting for solutions are obtained. The former result has an application in the Chern-Simons model.

Conley index in Hilbert spaces and a problem of Angenent and van der Vorst

Marek Izydorek, Krzysztof P. Rybakowski (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In a recent paper [9] we presented a Galerkin-type Conley index theory for certain classes of infinite-dimensional ODEs without the uniqueness property of the Cauchy problem. In this paper we show how to apply this theory to strongly indefinite elliptic systems. More specifically, we study the elliptic system - Δ u = v H ( u , v , x ) in Ω, - Δ v = u H ( u , v , x ) in Ω, u = 0, v = 0 in ∂Ω, (A1) on a smooth bounded domain Ω in N for "-"-type Hamiltonians H of class C² satisfying subcritical growth assumptions on their first order derivatives....

Connecting topological Hopf singularities

Robert Hardt, Tristan Rivière (2003)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Smooth maps between riemannian manifolds are often not strongly dense in Sobolev classes of finite energy maps, and an energy drop in a limiting sequence of smooth maps often is accompanied by the production (or bubbling) of an associated rectifiable current. For finite 2-energy maps from the 3 ball to the 2 sphere, this phenomenon has been well-studied in works of Bethuel-Brezis-Coron and Giaquinta-Modica-Soucek where a finite mass 1 dimensional rectifiable current occurs whose boundary is the...

Constantes de Sobolev des arbres

Marc Bourdon (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Étant donnés p [ 1 , + [ et un arbre T dont chaque sommet est de valence au moins  3 , on étudie la constante de Sobolev d’exposant p de T , c’est-à-dire la plus petite constante σ p telle que pour tout u p ( T 0 ) on ait u p p σ p d u p p . Notre motivation vient de la recherche de graphes finis avec des petites constantes de Poincaré d’exposant  p , en vue d’obtenir des exemples de groupes qui ont la propriété de point fixe sur les espaces L p .
