Abstract: We describe the asymptotic behavior of critical points of intOmega[(1/2)|ablau|2+W(u)/varepsilon2] when varepsilono0. Here, W is a Ginzburg-Landau type potential, vanishing on a simple closed curve Gamma. Unlike the case of the standard Ginzburg-Landau potential W(u)=(1−|u|2)2/4, studied by Bethuel, Brezis and H'elein, we do not assume any symmetry on W or Gamma. In order to overcome the difficulties due to the lack of symmetry, we develop new tools which might be of independent interest.
