Abstract

We study the limit $p \to \infty$ of global minimizers for a p-Ginzburg–Landau-type energy

The minimization is carried over maps on $R^{2}$ that vanish at the origin and are of degree one at infinity. We prove locally uniform convergence of the minimizers on $R^{2}$ and obtain an explicit formula for the limit on $B (0, 2)$ . Some generalizations to dimension $N ⩾ 3$ are presented as well.
