contents We study solutions to the self-dual Abelian Yang--Mills--Higgs (YMH) equations in the singular limit $\e \to 0 $, where the associated self-dual Ginzburg--Landau type energy \begin{align*} E_\e\begin{pmatrix}u\\ A\end{pmatrix} = \int_M \left( |\nabla^A u|^2 + \e^2 |F_A|^2 + \frac{(1 - |u|^2)^2}{4\e^2} \right) \mathrm{dvol}_g \end{align*} exhibits concentration along codimension-two sets. Using techniques inspired by Allard's regularity theory, we construct approximate solutions concentrating near a minimal submanifold and analyse their perturbations via a linearised operator projected orthogonally to gauge and translational zero modes. By working in Fermi coordinates and enforcing Coulomb gauge conditions, we derive uniform Lipschitz and curvature estimates for the solutions and obtain Hölder regularity for the scalar and connection components. These results establish a geometric framework for understanding vortex sheet formation and provide a regularity theory for the limiting defect set in the context of Abelian gauge theories.
