Abstract
We show that there exists multi-vortex, non-radial, finite energy solutions to the magnetic Ginzburg-Landau equations on all of \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) . We use Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction to construct solutions which are invariant under rotations by \({\frac{2 \pi}{k}}\) (but not by rotations in O(2) in general) and reflections in the x− axis for some k ≥ 7.
