Abstract: The anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau system [ Delta u+delta, abla (mathrm{div}: u) +delta, mathrm{curl}^*(mathrm{curl}: u)=(|u|^2-1) u, ] for $ucolonmathbb{R}^{2}omathbb{R}^2$ and $deltain(-1,1)$, models the formation of vortices in liquid crystals. We prove the existence of entire solutions such that $|u(x)|o1$ and $u$ has a prescribed topological degree $dleq-1$ as $|x|oinfty$, for small values of the anisotropy parameter $|delta|<delt{a}_0(d)$. Unlike the isotropic case $delta=0$, this cannot be reduced to a one-dimensional radial equation. We obtain these solutions by minimizing the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau energy in an appropriate class of equivariant maps, with respect to a finite symmetry subgroup.
