Abstract:

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, simply connected, regular domain of $R^N$, $N\ge 2$. For $0<\varepsilon<1$, let $u_\varepsilon :\Omega\to C$ be a smooth solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in $\Omega$ with Dirichlet boundary condition $g_\varepsilon$, i.e., $$ \cases{ -\Delta u\varepsilon ={1\over \varepsilon2} u\varepsilon (1-
u\varepsilon
2) & {\rm in } \Omega,\cr u\varepsilon= g\varepsilon & {\rm on } \partial\Omega. \cr} $$ We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of $u_\varepsilon$ as $\varepsilon$ goes to zero under the assumption that $E_\varepsilon(u_\varepsilon)\le M_0
\log\varepsilon
$ and some conditions on $g_\varepsilon$ which allow singularities of dimension $N-3$ on $\partial\Omega$.
