Rezensionen

"In the course of their argument, the authors traverse a broad range of nontrivial analysis: elliptic equations on weighted Holder and Sobolev spaces, radially symmetric solutions, gluing techniques, Pokhozhaev-type arguments for solutions of semilinear elliptic equations, and more. Clearly aimed at a research audience, this book provides a fascinating and original account of the theory of Ginzburg-Landau vortices."

"The present monograph contains new and deep original results in the geometrical theory of Ginzburg-Landau vortices. ... This book is suitable for readers with a knowledge of nonlinear partial differential equations and should appeal to researchers interested in such diverse areas ... . For all these reasons, the reviewer strongly believes that 'Linear and Nonlinear Aspects of Vortices (The Ginzburg-Landau Model)' is an outstanding contribution to the field and should be available in all mathematics and physics libraries."
