ABSTRACT
We prove a Î“-convergence result for the family of functionals defined on H 1(Î©) by $${\mathcal J}_\varepsilon(\varphi)=\int_\Omega\big(\varepsilon|\nabla\varphi|^2 +\frac{1}{\varepsilon}|u(x)-e^{i\varphi}|^{2p}\big)\hbox{d}x, \forall\varepsilon > 0,$$ for a given $$u\in BV(\Omega,S^1)$$ and a parameter $$p\in[1,\infty)$$ . We show that in either of the two cases, p = 2 or $$u\in W^{1,1}(\Omega,S^1)$$ , any limit of the minimizers is an optimal lifting.

We develop the theory of Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbes and multiplicative bundle gerbes associated to any principal G-bundle with connection and a class in H4( BG, â„¤) for a compact semi-simple Lie group G. The Chern-Simons bundle 2-gerbe realises differential geometrically the...

We study the existence of fast and heteroclinic solutions of an ODE that arises in connection with travelling wave solutions of Fisher-Kolmogorov's equation. They are obtained by solving a minimum or constrained minimum problem. A variational characterization of the minimum speed for which...
