Abstract

We classify nonconstant entire local minimizers of the standard Ginzburg–Landau functional for maps in _H_1loc (ℝR;ℝ3) satisfying a natural energy bound. Up to translations and rotations, such solutions of the Ginzburg–Land system are given by an explicit solution equivariant under the action of the orthogonal group.
