It is well known that a covariant Lagrangian for relativistic charged particles can lead to a vanishing Hamiltonian. Alternatively, it is shown that using a "space+time" Lagrangian leads to a new canonical momentum and minimal coupling rule…

In the standard theory of superconductivity, the origin of superconductivity is the electron-pairing. The induced current by a magnetic field is calculated by the linear response to the vector potential, and the supercurrent is identified…

We consider a type I superconducting body that contains one or more holes in its interior that undergoes a transition between normal and superconducting states in the presence of a magnetic field. We argue that unlike other thermodynamic…
We use two truly canonical approaches to describe superconductivity in ultrasmall metallic grains: (a) a variational fixed-N projected BCS-like theory and (b) an exact solution of the model Hamiltonian developed by Richardson in context…
The Meissner effect is an important characteristic of superconductivity and is critical to distinguishing superconductivity from simply the absence of electrical resistance (perfect conductivity). In a recent paper published in American…
The discovery of the Meissner effect was a turning point in the history of superconductivity. It demonstrated that superconductivity is an equilibrium state of matter, thus allowing to use thermodynamics for its study. This provided a…
We consider a many-fermion model which exhibits a transition from a superconducting to a rotational phase with variation of a parameter in its Hamiltonian. The model has analytical solutions in its two limits due to the presence of…
