The author gives a lower bound for the Dirichlet energy of a unit vector field defined in a perforated domain of \(\mathbb{R}^2\) with nonzero degree on the outer boundary in terms of the total diameter of the holes. Using this, the author also gives lower bounds and compactness results for Ginzburg-Laudau functionals.
