A compactness result in micromagnetics
[ Abstract ]
We study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem, depending on two parameters, for maps with values into the unit sphere. There is a physical prediction for the optimal configuration of the magnetization called the Landau state. Our goal is to prove compactness of the Landau state. This is a joint work with Felix Otto.
