In this work we focus on the characterization of the space L 2 .SI C/ on Riemannian 2-manifolds S induced by a xed magnetic vector potential A 0 in the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau (GL) superconductivity model. e linear di erential operator governing the GL model is the surface Schrödinger operator .ir C A 0 / 2 on S. We obtain a complete orthonormal system in L 2 .SI C/ from a collection of nontrivial solutions of the weak-form of the spectral problem associated with .ir CA 0 / 2 . en, after proving that any member of this basis satis es a higher regularity condition, we conclude that each is also an eigenfunction of the strong-form of the surface Schrödinger operator, and must satisfy a natural Neumann condition over any nonempty component of the manifold boundary @S.ese results form the theoretical foundations used to develop e cient computational tools for simulating the Langevin version of the surface GL model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
