| contents | For vector fields on a two-dimensional domain, we study the asymptotic behaviour of Modica-Mortola (or Allen-Cahn) type functionals under the assumption that the divergence converges to $0$ at a certain rate, which effectively produces a model of Aviles-Giga type. This problem will typically give rise to transition layers, which degenerate into discontinuities in the limit. We analyse the energy concentration at these discontinuities and the corresponding transition profiles.
We derive an estimate for the energy concentration in terms of a novel geometric variational problem involving the notion of $\mathbb{R}^2$-valued $1$-currents from geometric measure theory. This in turn leads to criteria, under which the energetically favourable transition profiles are essentially one-dimensional. |
