| contents | We study the highly anisotropic energy of two-dimensional unit vector fields given by \begin{align*} E_ε(u)= \int_Ω (\mathrm{div}\,u)^2 + ε(\mathrm{curl}\,u)^2\, dx\,, \quad u\colonΩ\subset\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb S^1\, \end{align*}
in the limit $ε\to 0$. This energy clearly loses control on the full gradient of $u$ as $ε\to 0$, but, adapting tools from hyperbolic conservations laws, we show that it still controls derivatives of order 1/2. In particular, any bounded energy sequence $E_ε(u_ε)\leq C$ is compact in $W^{s,3}_{\mathrm{loc}}(Ω)$ for $s<1/2$. Moreover, this order 1/2 of differentiability is optimal, in the sense that any map $u\in W^{1/2,4}(Ω;\mathbb S^1)$ is a limit of a bounded energy sequence. We also establish compactness of boundary traces in $L^1(\partialΩ)$, and characterize the $Γ$-limit in the simpler case of maps of a single variable and in the case of a thin-film model. |
