We show that two-band superconductors harbor hidden criticality deep in the superconducting state, stemming from the critical temperature of the weaker band taken as an independent system. For sufficiently small interband coupling $\gamma$…

In an influential paper of 2002, Babaev, Faddeev and Niemi conjectured that two-component Ginzburg-Landau (TCGL) theory in three dimensions should support knot solitons, where the projective equivalence class of the pair of complex…
We use the Ginzburg-Landau theory near the transition temperature in order to examine the behavior of an inhomogeneous superconductor in the presence of a magnetic field. We find that a transition from type I to type II superconductivity…
In a class of two-component Ginzburg-Landau models (TCGL) with a U(1)$\times$U(1) symmetric potential, vortices with a condensate at their core may have significantly lower energies than the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) ones. On the…

We revisit the interlayer tunneling theory of high temperature superconductors and formulate it as a mechanism by which the striking systematics of the transition temperature within a given homologous series can be understood. We pay…
We study a model for the pinning of vortices in a two-dimensional, inhomogeneous, Type-II superconductor in its mixed state. The model is based on a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) free energy functional whose coefficients are determined by the…

We analyze the anomalies of superconducting state (s and d-wave pairing) in a simple model of pseudogap state, induced by fluctuations of short - range order (e.g. antiferromagnetic), based on the model Fermi surface with "hot patches". We…
The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) effective theory is a useful tool to study a superconductivity or superfluidity near the critical temperature, and usually the expansion up to the 4th order in terms of order parameters is sufficient for the…
Recent developments in theory, synthesis, and experimental probes of quantum systems have revealed many suitable candidate materials to host chiral superconductivity. Chiral superconductors are a subset of unconventional superconductors…
