Ferromagnetic materials display a complex microstructure of domains walls Bloch lines and singular points on scales ranging from m down to a few nm Understanding the formation and overall e ects of these structures is crucial for key technological applications At the same time the rich source of experimental data and the simple mathematical formulation makes the analysis of magnetic microstructure an excellent model problem to develop new mathematical tools for the understanding of multiscale problems which are ubiquitous in science In this paper we describe some basic mathematical problems and re port on recent analytical progress in three areas rigorous scaling laws branching and dimensionally reduced theories for thin lms The energy functional Ferromagnetic materials display a complex microstructure of magnetic domains walls Bloch lines and singular points ranging from m down to a few nm and beyond see Fig Understanding the formation and the overall e ects of these structures is crucial for a number of key technology applications At the same time the rich source of experimental data and the simple mathematical formulation makes the analysis of magnetic microstructures an excellent model problem to develop new mathematical tools for the understanding of multiscale problems which are ubiquitous in science Somewhat surprisingly the huge variety of magnetic structures can often be understood through minimisation of a simple energy functional which only involves two material parameters Let R represent a magnetic body and let m R denote its magnetisation per unit volume In non dimensional variables the energy associated to such a magnetisation is given as Br HS E m w Z jrmj Q Z m Z
