Abstract

Building on earlier work, we have given in [29] aproof of existence of Abrikosov vortex lattices in the Ginzburg-Landau model ofsuperconductivity and shown that the triangular lattice gives the lowest energy perlattice cell. After [29] was published, we realizedthat it proves a stronger result than was stated there. This result is recorded in thepresent paper. The proofs remain the same as in [29], apart from some streamlining.
