Complex Ginzburg-Landau equations in high dimensions and codimension two area minimizing currents (Q1963838)

The paper deals with the study of the asymptotic behaviour of minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau functional on a bounded regular domain of \({\mathbb R}^n\). The main result of the paper asserts 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 class introduced from the \(S^1\)-valued boundary data.
