Geometric methods for the most general Ginzburg-Landau model with two order parameters

Superconductivity 2013-05-29 v1

Abstract

The Landau potential in the general Ginzburg-Landau theory with two order parameters and all possible quadratic and quartic terms cannot be minimized with the straightforward algebra. Here, a geometric approach is presented that circumvents this computational difficulty and allows one to get insight into many properties of the model in the mean-field approximation.
