Solvability for the Ginzburg-Landau equation linearized at the degree-one vortex
Manuel del Pino, Rowan Juneman, Monica Musso
Abstract
We consider the Ginzburg-Landau equation in the plane linearized around the standard degree-one vortex solution $W(x)=w(r)e^{iθ}$. Using explicit representation formulae for the Fourier modes in $θ$, we obtain sharp estimates for the inverse of the linearized operator which hold for a large class of right-hand sides. This theory can be applied, for example, to estimate the inverse after dropping the usual orthogonality conditions.
