We consider the Eliashberg theory in the coupling region where some fundamental qualitative deviations from the conventional BCS-like behaviour begin to appear. These deviations are identified as the onset of a cross-over from BCS…
Phase transitions are ubiquitous in our three-dimensional world. By contrast most conventional transitions do not occur in infinite uniform two-dimensional systems because of the increased role of thermal fluctuations. Here we explore the…

Two-dimensional (2D) systems play a special role in many-body physics. Because of thermal fluctuations, they cannot undergo a conventional phase transition associated to the breaking of a continuous symmetry. Nevertheless they may exhibit a…
Bose condensation of interacting bosons in a two-dimensional random potential is studied. The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is solved to determine the spatially-varying order parameter and the localization length as a function of the disorder,…

We consider an electronic phase separation process that generates regions of different charge densities, or local dopings, as the origin of the inhomogeneous charge density of high $T_c$ superconductors. We show that it gives rise to a…
The properties of the superfluid phase of ultra cold bosonic atoms loaded in a circular array are investigated in the framework of the Bose-Hubbard model and the Bogoliubov theory. We derive and solve the Gross-Pitaevskii equation of the…
The formation of Bose condensates far from equilibrium can play an important role in our understanding of collision experiments of heavy nuclei or for the evolution of the early universe. In the relativistic quantum world particle number…
