Abstract
We use a natural two-parameter min-max construction to produce critical points of the Ginzburg–Landau functionals on a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $\geq 2$. We investigate the limiting behavior of these critical points as $\varepsilon \to 0$, and show in particular that some of the energy concentrates on a nontrivial stationary, rectifiable $(n-2)$-varifold as $\varepsilon \to 0$, suggesting connections to the min-max construction of minimal $(n-2)$-submanifolds.
