Abstract

The phase diagram of superconducting U ⁣Pt3U\!Pt_{3} in pressure-temperature plane, together with the neutron scattering data is studied within a two component superconducting order parameter scenario. In order to give a qualitative explanation to the experimental data a set of two linearly independent antiferromagnetic moments which emerge appropriately at the temperature \mbox{TN10TcT_{N}\sim 10\cdot T_{c}} and \mbox{TmTcT_{m}\sim T_{c}} and couple to superconductivity is proposed. Several constraints on the fourth order coefficients in the Ginzburg-Landau free energy are obtained.
