Abstract

We study the 2D full Ginzburg-Landau energy with a periodic rapidly oscillating, discontinuous and [strongly] diluted pinning term using a perturbative argument. This energy models the state of an heterogeneous type II supercon-ductor submitted to a magnetic field. We calculate the value of the first critical field which links the presence of vorticity defects with the intensity of the applied magnetic field. Then we prove a standard dependance of the quantized vorticity defects with the intensity of the applied field. Our study includes the case of a London solution having several minima. The macroscopic location of the vor-ticity defects is understood with the famous Bethuel-Brezis-H{é}lein renormalized energy. The mesoscopic location, i.e., the arrangement of the vorticity defects around the minima of the London solution, is the same than in the homogenous case. The microscopic location is exactly the same than in the heterogeneous case without magnetic field. We also compute the value of secondary critical fields that increment the quantized vorticity. 1. Introdution This article studies the pinning phenomenon in type-II superconducting composites. Superconductivity is a property that appears in certain materials cooled below a critical temperature. These materials are called superconductors. Superconductivity is characterized by a total absence of electrical resistance and a perfect diamagnetism. Unfortunately, when the imposed conditions are too intense, superconductivity is destroyed in certain areas of the material called vorticity defects. We are interested in type II superconductors which are characterized by the fact that the vorticity defects first appear in small areas. Their number increases with the intensity of the conditions imposed until filling the material. For example, when the intensity h ex of an applied magnetic field exceeds a first threshold, the first vorticity defects appear: the magnetic field begins to penetrate the superconductor. The penetration is done along thin wires and may move resulting an energy dissipation. These motions may be limited by trapping the vorticity defects in small areas. The behavior of a superconductor is modeled by minimizers of a Ginzburg-Landau type energy. In order to study the presence of traps for the vorticity defects we consider an energy including a pinning term that models impurities in the supercon-ductor. These impurities would play the role of traps for the vorticity defects. We are thus lead to the subject of this article: the type-II superconducting composites with impurities.

Blow-Up Dynamics for the $L^2$ critical case of the $2$D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

We study blow-up dynamics for the $L^2$-critical cubic Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation in two dimensions, \[ \partial_tu+\partial_{x_1}(Δu+u^3)=0 \qquad\text{on }\mathbb R^2. \] For a class of localized $H^1$ perturbations of the ground state $Q$, we establish a trichotomy near the soliton manifold: exit from a small $L^2$-tube, global asymptotic stability, or finite-time blow-up. In the stable blow-up regime, the solution concentrates a single bubble and \[ λ(t)\sim \ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}, \] where $\ell_0>0$ depends on the initial datum and $c\in(1,2)$ is an explicit constant determined by the transverse tail of the first-order approximate profile. Consequently, \[ \|\nabla u(t)\|_{L^2} \sim \frac{\|\nabla Q\|_{L^2}} {\ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}}. \] After subtraction of the concentrating soliton, the radiation converges strongly in $L^p(\mathbb R^2)$ for every $2\leq p<\infty$ to a common nonzero profile $u^*$, while \[ u^*\notin H^s(\mathbb R^2) \qquad\text{for every }s\geq\frac c2. \] The stable blow-up branch is open in the relative $H^1$ topology of the localized class. Finally, every non-soliton datum in this class with non-positive energy blows up in finite time. Interval-arithmetic computer-assisted proofs certify the numerical inputs to the virial coercivity argument. They also yield a rigorous enclosure of $c$, justifying the polynomial moment of order $21$ imposed on the initial data.

Propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections

In this paper, we study the propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections with respect to a system of two Schr{ö}dinger equations presenting a codimension 2 crossing. We focus on the dynamics that occur when the wave packets pass through an area close to the crossing, and our main results provide an explicit formula for the outgoing wave packet in terms of the incoming one, with a complete description of its phase and of the classical trajectories it follows, including a drift.

A Volterra Calculus for Lie Groupoids

A pseudodifferential Volterra calculus for inverting parabolic differential equations on Lie groupoids is introduced. This enables the study of fundamental solutions of various cases of heat flows on singular manifolds with corners with non-resonant boundary indicial symbols, such as the $b$-manifolds, as well as other geometric bisection covariant heat flows. We also establish the short time asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel of a positive, elliptic differential operator on a Lie groupoid that acts on suitable Sobolev Hilbert modules and is positive definite with respect to the appropriate $L^2$ inner product.
