The seminar is sponsored by NYU-ECNU Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU Shanghai.
Abstract:
In this talk, we study critical points to the generalized Ginzburg-Landau equations in high dimensions (n ≥3) which satisfy a suitable energy bound, but are not necessarily energy minimizers. We are interested in the limits of such solutions as the parameter in the equations tend to zero.
