Renormalized Energy and Vortex Interaction in Finsler Ginzburg-Landau Models

Y. Alipour Fakhri

TL;DR

This work develops a Finsler Ginzburg--Landau model to capture direction-dependent vortex interactions in anisotropic superconductors. By establishing the $\Gamma$-limit and deriving the renormalized energy $W_F$ through a Finsler Green kernel, it unifies geometric and physical descriptions of vortex dynamics within a single variational framework. The dynamics reduce to a Finsler gradient flow $\dot{a}_i = -\nabla_{a_i}^{(F)} W_F$ with a Hessian-driven stability analysis, revealing anisotropic stiffness and collective modes. Randers-type perturbations introduce small antisymmetric drift, reflecting non-reciprocal effects in the lattice orientation. Overall, the approach provides a rigorous geometric formulation of anisotropic superconductivity, enabling rigorous analysis of dissipation, elasticity, and vortex motion under non-Euclidean metrics.

Abstract

We develop a Finsler Ginzburg--Landau framework for the analysis of vortex interactions in anisotropic superconductors. Within this setting, the Finsler structure encodes directional dependence of the condensate energy, yielding a renormalized energy W_F that governs both equilibrium and dynamics of vortices. We derive the Gamma--limit, establish the analytical structure and stability of W_F, and show that vortex motion follows a Finsler gradient flow exhibiting anisotropic dissipation and drift. This approach provides a unified geometric and physical model for anisotropic superconductivity.

Key Result

Theorem 2.2

Let $(M,F)$ be compact and strongly convex, and let $G_F^\varepsilon$ be defined by GF-definition. Then as $\varepsilon\to 0$, with respect to weak convergence of vorticity currents $J_\varepsilon\stackrel{*}{\rightharpoonup}J$ in the sense of currents, where $G_0[J]$ is given by Gamma-limit.
