Abstract
We show that some experimentally observed features of vortex matter in high temperature superconductors may be interpreted in simpler ways than it is usually done. In particular, we consider magnetic flux creep at low temperatures as well as the irreversibility line in the H-T phase diagram. We also discuss a new approach to the analysis of the equilibrium magnetization in the mixed state of type-II superconductors and we suggest an alternative configuration for the mixed state in magnetic fields close to the upper critical field.
