Abstract: | In this Note, we study the properties of the line energy for a vortex γ in a Bose Einstein condensate rotating at velocity . The global minimizer is either the vortex free solution or U vortices which exist only for bigger than a critical value. For all values of , we prove the existence of an S type vortex, which is a critical point of the line energy, observed in the experiments. We also prove uniqueness of the minimizer for almost every and a monotonicity property of the curve γ with respect to . The proofs rely on a related isoperimetric problem. To cite this article: A.
