3 The Ginzburg-Landau equations u : Ω R 2 C u = u ε 2 (1 u 2 ) Ginzburg-Landau equation (GL) t u = u + u ε 2 (1 u 2 ) parabolic GL equation (PGL) i t u = u + u ε 2 (1 u 2 ) Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GP) Associated energy E ε (u) = 1 2 Ω u 2 + (1 u 2 ) 2 2ε 2 Models: superconductivity, superfluidity, Bose-Einstein condensates, nonlinear optics

4 Vortices in general u 1, u 1 = superconducting/superfluid phase, u 0 = normal phase u has zeroes with nonzero degrees = vortices u = ρe iϕ, characteristic length scale of {ρ < 1} is ε = vortex core size degree of the vortex at x 0 : 1 ϕ 2π B(x 0,r) τ = d Z In the limit ε 0 vortices become points, (or curves in dimension 3).

5 Solutions of (GL), bounded number N of vortices [Bethuel-Brezis-Hélein 94] u ε minimizing E ε has vortices all of degree +1 (or all 1) which converge to a minimizer of W ((x 1, d 1 ),..., (x N, d N )) = π i j d i d j log x i x j +boundary terms... renormalized energy", Kirchhoff-Onsager energy (in the whole plane) minimal energy min E ε = πn log ε + min W + o(1) as ε 0 Some boundary condition needed to obtain nontrivial minimizers nonminimizing solutions: u ε has vortices which converge to a critical point of W : i W ({x i }) = 0 i = 1, N [Bethuel-Brezis-Hélein 94] stable solutions converge to stable critical points of W [S. 05]

7 Dynamics, bounded number N of vortices For well-prepared initial data, d i = ±1, solutions to (PGL) have vortices which converge (after some time-rescaling) to solutions to dx i dt = iw (x 1,..., x N ) [Lin 96, Jerrard-Soner 98, Lin-Xin 99, Spirn 02, Sandier-S 04] For well-prepared initial data, d i = ±1, solutions to (GP) dx i dt = i W (x 1,..., x N ) = ( 2, 1 ) [Colliander-Jerrard 98, Spirn 03, Bethuel-Jerrard-Smets 08] All these hold up to collision time For (PGL), extensions beyond collision time and for ill-prepared data [Bethuel-Orlandi-Smets 05-07, S. 07]

8 Vorticity In the case N ε, describe the vortices via the vorticity : supercurrent j ε := iu ε, u ε a, b := 1 2 (a b + āb) vorticity µ ε := curl j ε vorticity in fluids, but quantized: µ ε 2π i d iδ a ε i µε 2πN ε µ signed measure, or probability measure,

Vorticity form t µ div (µ h) = 0 h = 1 µ (EV) For (PGL), formal model proposed by [Chapman-Rubinstein-Schatzman 96], [E 95]: if µ 0 t µ div (µ h) = 0 h = 1 µ (CRSE)

11 Dynamics in the case N ε 1 Back to N ε log ε tu = u + u ε 2 (1 u 2 ) in R 2 (PGL) in ε t u = u + u ε 2 (1 u 2 ) in R 2 (GP) For (GP), by Madelung transform, the limit dynamics is expected to be the 2D incompressible Euler equation. Vorticity form t µ div (µ h) = 0 h = 1 µ (EV) For (PGL), formal model proposed by [Chapman-Rubinstein-Schatzman 96], [E 95]: if µ 0 t µ div (µ h) = 0 h = 1 µ (CRSE)

22 Main result: Gross-Pitaevskii case Theorem (S. 15) Assume u ε solves (GP) and let N ε be such that log ε N ε 1 ε. Let v be a L (R +, C 0,1 ) solution to the incompressible Euler equation { t v = 2v curl v + p in R 2 div v = 0 in R 2, (IE) with curl v L (L 1 ). Let {u ε } ε>0 be solutions associated to initial conditions u 0 ε, with E ε (u 0 ε, 0) o(n 2 ε ). Then, for every t 0, we have 1 N ε u ε, iu ε v in L 1 loc(r 2 ). Implies of course the convergence of the vorticity µ ε /N ε curl v Works in 3D

23 Main result: parabolic case Theorem (S. 15) Assume u ε solves (PGL) and let N ε be such that 1 N ε O( log ε ). Let v be a L ([0, T ], C 1,γ ) solution to if N ε log ε { t v = 2vcurl v + p in R 2 div v = 0 in R 2, (L1) if N ε λ log ε t v = 1 λ div v 2vcurl v in R2. (L2) Assume E ε (u 0 ε, 0) πn ε log ε + o(n 2 ε ) and curl v(0) 0. Then t T we have 1 N ε u ε, iu ε v in L 1 loc(r 2 ). Taking the curl of the equation yields back the (CRSE) equation if N ε log ε, but not if N ε log ε! Long time existence proven by [Duerinckx 16].

24 Proof method Go around the question of minimal vortex distances by using instead the modulated energy and showing a Gronwall inequality on E. the proof relies on algebraic simplifications in computing d dt E ε(u ε (t)) which reveal only quadratic terms Uses the regularity of v to bound corresponding terms An insight is to think of v as a spatial gauge vector and div v (resp. p) as a temporal gauge

29 Parabolic case Theorem (Duerinckx-S) N ε log ε, λ ε := j ε /N ε converges to N ε log ε, F ε = λ ε F, a ε = a λε (h ε = λ ε h) { t v = p + ( h F 2v)curl v in R 2 div v = 0 in R 2, j ε /N ε converges to N ε = λ log ε (λ > 0) t v = 1 λ (1 a div (av)) + ( h F 2v)curl v in R 2. vorticity evolves by t µ = div (Γµ) with Γ = pinning + applied force + interaction
