The Ginzburg-Landau energy minimization problem for a vector field on a two dimensional disc is analyzed. This is the simplest nontrivial example of avector fieldminimization problem and the goal is to show that the energy minimizer has the full geometric symmetry of the problem. The standard methods that are useful for similar problems involving real valuedfunctionscannot be applied to this situation. Our main result is that the minimizer in the class of symmetric fields is stable, i.e., the eigenvalues of the second variation operator are all nonnegative.
