Ginzburg-Landau fields are the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations which depend on two positive parameters, $α$ and $β$. We give conditions on $α$ and $β$ for the existence of irreducible solutions of these equations. Our results hold for arbitrary compact, oriented, Riemannian 2-manifolds (for example, bounded …

We establish a glueing theorem for the Ginzburg-Landau equations in dimension $n > 2$. To this end, we consider a nondegenerate minimal submanifold of codimension 2, and construct a one-parameter family of solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations such that the energy density concentrates near this submanifold. The pr…

In this paper, we consider the smooth map from a Riemannian manifold to the standard Euclidean space and the p-Ginzburg-Landau energy. Under suitable curvature conditions on the domain manifold, some Liouville type theorems are established by assuming either growth conditions of the p-Ginzburg-Landau energy or an asymp…

We analyze 2-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau vortices at critical coupling, and establish asymptotic formulas for the tangent vectors of the vortex moduli space using theorems of Taubes and Bradlow. We then compute the corresponding Berry curvature and holonomy in the large volume limit.

We use min-max techniques to produce nontrivial solutions $u_ε:M\to \mathbb{R}^2$ of the Ginzburg-Landau equation $Δu_ε+\frac{1}{ε^2}(1-|u_ε|^2)u_ε=0$ on a given compact Riemannian manifold, whose energy grows like $|\logε|$ as $ε\to 0$. When the degree one cohomology $H^1_{dR}(M)=0$, we show that the energy of these s…

We establish a new estimate for the Ginzburg-Landau energies $E_ε(u)=\int_M\frac{1}{2}|du|^2+\frac{1}{4ε^2}(1-|u|^2)^2$ of complex-valued maps $u$ on a compact, oriented manifold $M$ with $b_1(M)\neq 0$, obtained by decomposing the harmonic component $h_u$ of the one-form $ju:=u^1du^2-u^2du^1$ into an integral and frac…

We study a variational Ginzburg-Landau type model depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ for (tangent) vector fields on a $2$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $S$. As $\varepsilon\to 0$, these vector fields tend to have unit length so they generate singular points, called vortices, of a (non-zero) index if the g…

In this paper we study the Kato' inequality on locally finite graph. We also study the application of Kato inequality to Ginzburg-Landau equations on such graphs. Interesting properties of Schrodinger equation and a Liouville type theorem are also derived.

In this note, we study properties of the gradient map of the isoparametric polynomial. For a given isoparametric hypersurface in sphere, we calculate explicitly the gradient map of its isoparametric polynomial which turns out many interesting phenomenons and applications. We find that it should map not only the focal s…

We study critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) functional and the abelian Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) functional on the sphere and the complex projective space, both equipped with the standard metrics. For the GL functional we prove that on $S^{n}$ with $n \geq 2$ and $\mathbb{CP}^{n}$ with $n \geq 1$, stable critical…

In this paper we study spherically symmetric monopoles, which are critical points for the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional over a disk in 3 dimensions, with prescribed degree and covariant constant at the boundary. This is a 3-dimensional gauge-theory generalization of the Ginzburg-Landau model in 2 dimensions.

This paper studies the convergence of penalized energy to harmonic maps in Riemannian manifolds.

We develop a suitable generalization of Almgren's theory of varifolds in a lorentzian setting, focusing on area, first variation, rectifiability, compactness and closure issues. Motivated by the asymptotic behaviour of the scaled hyperbolic Ginzburg-Landau equations, and by the presence of singularities in lorentzian m…

Signed networks contain both positive and negative kinds of interactions like friendship and enmity. The task of node classification in non-signed graphs has proven to be beneficial in many real world applications, yet extensions to signed networks remain largely unexplored. In this paper we introduce the first analysi…

We present a graph-based variational algorithm for classification of high-dimensional data, generalizing the binary diffuse interface model to the case of multiple classes. Motivated by total variation techniques, the method involves minimizing an energy functional made up of three terms. The first two terms promote a …

Diffuse interface methods have recently been introduced for the task of semi-supervised learning. The underlying model is well-known in materials science but was extended to graphs using a Ginzburg--Landau functional and the graph Laplacian. We here generalize the previously proposed model by a non-smooth potential fun…

At critical coupling, the interactions of Ginzburg-Landau vortices are determined by the metric on the moduli space of static solutions. The asymptotic form of the metric for two well separated vortices is shown here to be expressible in terms of a Bessel function. A straightforward extension gives the metric for N vor…

We analyze an elastic surface energy which was recently introduced by G. Napoli and L.Vergori to model thin films of nematic liquid crystals. We show how a novel approach that takes into account also the extrinsic properties of the surfaces coated by the liquid crystal leads to considerable differences with respect to …

Study heat flow for half-harmonic maps and harmonic maps with free boundary.

In my previaou paper of K. Horihata, we have proposed a Ginzburg-Landau system with a time-dependent parameter and then passing to the limit we have constructed a harmonic heat flow into spheres. Thanks to this scheme, we establish a few energy inequalities of our flow: (i) monotonical inequalities and (ii) a reverse P…

On a compact manifold $M^{n}$ ($n\geq 3$) with boundary, we study the asymptotic behavior as $ε$ tends to zero of solutions $u_ε: M \to \mathbb{C}$ to the equation $Δu_ε + ε^{-2}(1 - |u_ε|^{2})u_ε = 0$ with the boundary condition $\partial_νu_ε = 0$ on $\partial M$. Assuming an energy upper bound on the solutions and a…

We present two graph-based algorithms for multiclass segmentation of high-dimensional data. The algorithms use a diffuse interface model based on the Ginzburg-Landau functional, related to total variation compressed sensing and image processing. A multiclass extension is introduced using the Gibbs simplex, with the fun…

Our method relies on a graph-based …

New model suggests universe emerges from single particle quantum mechanics.

We study global monotone solutions of the free boundary problem that arises from minimizing the energy functional $I(u) = \int |\nabla u|^2 + V(u)$, where $V(u)$ is the characteristic function of the interval $(-1,1)$. This functional is a close relative of the scalar Ginzburg-Landau functional $J(u) = \int |\nabla u|^…

The study presents a general framework for discovering underlying Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) using measured spatiotemporal data. The method, called Sparse Spatiotemporal System Discovery ($\text{S}^3\text{d}$), decides which physical terms are necessary and which can be removed (because they are physically n…

Develops geometric framework for dissipative field equations.

Classification of high dimensional data finds wide-ranging applications. In many of these applications equipping the resulting classification with a measure of uncertainty may be as important as the classification itself. In this paper we introduce, develop algorithms for, and investigate the properties of, a variety o…

Motivated by the sigma model limit of multicomponent Ginzburg-Landau theory, a version of the Faddeev-Skyrme model is considered in which the scalar field is coupled dynamically to a one-form field called the supercurrent. This coupled model is investigated in the general setting where physical space is an oriented Rie…

Networks capture pairwise interactions between entities and are frequently used in applications such as social networks, food networks, and protein interaction networks, to name a few.
