This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator related to the square root Laplacian as defined in Fourier space. In the singular Ginzburg-Landau limit, we show that solutions with uniformly bounded energy converge weakly to sphere valued 1/2-harmonic maps, i.e., the fractional analogues of the usual harmonic maps. In addition, the convergence holds in smooth functions spaces away from a (n-1)-rectifiable closed set of finite (n-1)-Hausdorff measure. The proof relies on the representation of the square root Laplacian as a Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator in one more dimension, and on the analysis of a boundary version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation. Besides the analysis of the fractional Ginzburg-Landau equation, we also give a general partial regularity result for stationary 1/2-harmonic maps in arbitrary dimension.

In this article, we improve the partial regularity theory for minimizing $1/2$-harmonic maps in the case where the target manifold is the $(m-1)$-dimensional sphere. For $mgeq 3$, we show that minimizing $1/2$-harmonic maps are smooth in dimension 2, and have a singular set of codimension at least 3 in higher dimensions. For $m=2$, we prove that, up to an orthogonal transformation, $x/|x|$ is the unique non trivial $0$-homogeneous minimizing $1/2$-harmonic map from the plane into the circle $mathbb{S}^1$. As a corollary, each point singularity of a minimizing $1/2$-harmonic maps from a 2d domain into $mathbb{S}^1$ has a topological charge equal to $pm1$.
This article addresses the regularity issue for stationary or minimizing fractional harmonic maps into spheres of order $sin(0,1)$ in arbitrary dimensions. It is shown that such fractional harmonic maps are $C^infty$ away from a small closed singular set. The Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is also estimated in terms of $sin(0,1)$ and the stationarity/minimality assumption.
The blow-up of solutions for the Cauchy problem of fractional Ginzburg-Landau equation with non-positive nonlinearity is shown by an ODE argument. Moreover, in one dimensional case, the optimal lifespan estimate for size of initial data is obtained.
The absence of interesting harmonic sections for the Sasaki and Cheeger-Gromoll metrics has led to the consideration of alternatives, for example in the form of a two-parameter family of natural metrics shown to relax existence conditions for harmonicity. This article investigates harmonic Killing vector fields, proves their non-existence on S^2, obtains rigidity results for harmonic gradient vector fields on the two-sphere, classifies spherical quadratic gradient fields in all dimensions and determines the tension field, concluding with the discovery of a family of metrics making Hopf vector fields harmonic maps on S^{2n+1}.
We study the Cauchy problem for a coupled system of a complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with a quasilinear conservation law $$ left{begin{array}{rlll} e^{-itheta}u_t&=&u_{xx}-|u|^2u-alpha g(v)u& v_t+(f(v))_x&=&alpha (g(v)|u|^2)_x& end{array}right. qquad xinmathbb{R},, t geq 0, $$ which can describe the interaction between a laser beam and a fluid flow (see [Aranson, Kramer, Rev. Med. Phys. 74 (2002)]). We prove the existence of a local in time strong solution for the associated Cauchy problem and, for a certain class of flux functions, the existence of global weak solutions. Furthermore we prove the existence of standing waves of the form $(u(t,x),v(t,x))=(U(x),V(x))$ in several cases.
