Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider an energy-functional describing rotating superfluids at a rotating velocity ω, and prove similar results as for the Ginzburg-Landau functional of superconductivity: mainly the existence of branches of solutions with vortices, the existence of a critical ω above which energyminimizers have vortices, evaluations of the minimal energy as a function of ω, and the derivation of a limiting free-boundary problem.
