Beskrivelse
More than ten years have passed since the book of F. Bethuel, H. Brezis and F. H' elein, which contributed largely to turning Ginzburg-Landau equations from a renowned physics model into a large PDE research ?eld, with an ever-increasing number of papers and research directions (the number of published mathematics papers on the subject is certainly in the several hundreds, and that of physics papers in the thousands). Having ourselves written a series of rather long and intricately - terdependent papers, and having taught several graduate courses and mini-courses on the subject, we felt the need for a more uni?ed and self-contained presentation. The opportunity came at the timely moment when Ha* ?m Brezis s- gested we should write this book. We would like to express our gratitude towards him for this suggestion and for encouraging us all along the way. As our writing progressed, we felt the need to simplify some proofs, improvesomeresults,aswellaspursuequestionsthatarosenaturallybut that we had not previously addressed. We hope that we have achieved a little bit of the original goal: to give a uni?ed presentation of our work with a mixture of both old and new results, and provide a source of reference for researchers and students in the ?eld.
