A Variational Characterization of a Gibbs Measure related to the Aviles-Giga Functional

Jean-Dominique Deuschel, Clara Thierbach, Barbara Zwicknagl

We derive explicit characterizations of Gibbs-measures related to the Aviles-Giga functional. We build on the variational approach presented by Barashkov and Gubinelli (2020) in th…
