Fluctuation-induced first-order transition in $p $-wave superconductors

Superconductivity 2012-11-20 v3 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

The problem of a fluctuation-induced first-order transition is considered for pp -wave superconductors. Both an ϵ\epsilon-expansion about d=4d=4 and a large-nn expansion conclude that the transition for the physical case n=6n=6 in d=3d=3 is of first order, as in the s-wave case.
