Uniqueness of weak solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau model for superconductivity (Q438628)

The authors consider the three-dimensional system of Ginzburg-Landau equations for the order parameter, scalar electrostatic potential, and vectorial magnetic potential, from the superconductivity theory. They prove the uniqueness of weak solutions to the initial-value problem for this system of equations in the case of the Coulomb gauge (which implies that the divergence of the vectorial magnetic potential is fixed to be zero). This problem is more subtle than the similar one for other gauges (the Lorentz gauge), which was considered previously.
