Abstract: We consider a model for dislocations in crystals introduced by Koslowski, Cuiti~no and Ortiz, which includes elastic interactions via a singular kernel behaving as the H1/2 norm of the slip. We obtain a sharp-interface limit of the model within the framework of Gamma-convergence. From an analytical point of view, our functional is a vector-valued generalization of the one studied by Alberti, Bouchitt'e and Seppecher to which their rearrangement argument no longer applies. Instead we show that the microstructure must be approximately one-dimensional on most length scales and exploit this property to derive a sharp lower bound.
