Abstract

We consider the magnetic Ginzburg–Landau equations on a closed manifold (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) formally corresponding to the Euler–Lagrange equations for the energy functional (Formula presented.) where (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) is a 1-form on (Formula presented.). Given a codimension-2 minimal submanifold (Formula presented.), which is also oriented and non-degenerate, we construct solutions (Formula presented.) such that (Formula presented.) has a zero set consisting of a smooth surface close to (Formula presented.). Away from (Formula presented.), we have (Formula presented.) as (Formula presented.), for all sufficiently small (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.). Here, (Formula presented.) is a normal frame for (Formula presented.) in (Formula presented.). This improves a recent result by De Philippis and Pigati (2022), who built a solution for which the concentration phenomenon holds in an energy, measure-theoretical sense.
