The concept of duality has proved extremely powerful in extending our understanding in many areas of physics (1, 2). Charge-vortex duality has been proposed (3, 4) as a model to understand the superconductor to insulator transition (SIT) in…
We develop the helicity modulus as a criterion for superconducting order in the mixed phase of a fluctuating type II superconductor. We show that there is a duality relation between this helicity modulus and the superfluid density of a…

We study some functionals that describe the density of vortex lines in superconductors subject to an applied magnetic field, and in Bose-Einstein condensates subject to rotational forcing, in quite general domains in 3 dimensions. These…
Vortex dynamics in a bilayer thin film superconductor are studied through a Josephson-coupled double layer XY model. A renormalization group analysis shows that there are three possible states associated with the relative phase of the…
We formulate a quantum theory of vorticity (hydro)dynamics on a general two-dimensional bosonic lattice. In the classical limit of a bosonic condensate, it reduces to conserved plasma-like vortex-antivortex dynamics. The nonlocal…
The vortex in the $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathrm{O}(2)$ model is studied via numerical simulations in a fully non-perturbative lattice regularization. We compute the vortex condensate and susceptibility to determine its critical exponents and…

A duality transformation in quantum field theory is usually established first through partition functions. It is always important to explore the dual relations between various correlation functions in the transformation. Here, we explore…
As the magnetic field penetrates the surface of a superconductor, it results in the formation of flux-vortices. It has been predicted that the flux-vortices will have a charged vortex core and create a dipolelike electric field. Such a…
In condensed matter physics, Kramers-Wannier duality implies that the state disordered by quantum fluctuations or temperature actually corresponds with an ordered state formed from the topological excitations of the 'original' ordered…
It is argued that close to a Coulomb interacting quantum critical point, the interaction between two vortices in a disordered superconducting thin film separated by a distance $r$ changes from logarithmic in the mean-field region to $1/r$…
