Although the BCS theory of superconductivity is a well established theory, we have shown that the phenomenology predicted by this model is much richer than previously believed. By releasing the constraint that the attraction band is…
We consider a problem of superconductivity coexistence with the spin-density-wave order in disordered multiband metals. It is assumed that random variations of the disorder potential on short length scales render the interactions between…
Altermagnetic metals break time-reversal symmetry and feature spin-split Fermi surfaces generated by compensated N\'eel-ordered collinear magnetic moments. Being metallic, such altermagnets may undergo a further instability at low…
The question of how a metal becoming superconducting expels a magnetic field is addressed. It is argued that the conventional theory of superconductivity has not answered this question despite its obvious importance. We argue that the…
A previously considered model interpreted a superconductor as an electron gas immersed in a medium with the dielectric constant $\epsilon$ and a certain elasticity, which could be determined by measured sonic speed in the metal. The…
In this paper, we introduce a Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory for the extended-$s$ and d-wave superconductors (SC) in granular systems that is defined on a lattice. In contrast to the ordinary Abelian Higgs model (AHM) that is a GL theory for…
Landau Fermi liquid theory, with its pivotal assertion that electrons in metals can be simply understood as independent particles with effective masses replacing the free electron mass, has been astonishingly successful. This is true…
Some of the highest-transition-temperature superconductors across various materials classes exhibit linear-in-temperature `strange metal' or `Planckian' electrical resistivities in their normal state. It is thus believed by many that this…
A universal mechanism of superconductivity applicable to ``low temperature'' and ``high temperature'' superconductors is proposed in this paper. With this model of mechanism experimental facts of superconductors can be qualitatively…
The temperature dependence of the transport properties of the metallic phase of a frustrated Hubbard model on the hypercubic lattice at half-filling are calculated. Dynamical mean-field theory, which maps the Hubbard model onto a single…
Landau suggested that the low-temperature properties of metals can be understood in terms of long-lived quasiparticles with all complex interactions included in Fermi-liquid parameters, such as the effective mass $m^{\star}$. Despite its…
Fascination with the concept of superconducting (SC) {\it superfluid density} $\rho_s$ has persisted since the beginning of superconductivity theory, with numerical values of an actual density rarely provided. Over time $\rho_s$, addressed…
The major obstacle to a supersymmetric theory on the lattice is the failure of the Leibniz rule. We analyze this issue by using the Wess-Zumino model and a general Ginsparg-Wilson operator, which is local and free of species doublers. We…
A distinctive feature of layered conductors is the presence of low-energy electronic collective modes of the conduction electrons. This affects the dynamic screening properties of the Coulomb interaction in a layered material. We study the…
Much remains unknown of the microscopic origin of superconductivity when it materializes in atomically disordered systems as in amorphous alloys (1) or in crystals riddled with defects(2). A manifestation of this conundrum is envisaged in…
Shortly after the Gor'kov microscopic derivation of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model via a small order parameter expansion in Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity, the derivation was carried to next-to-leading order in that…
Metallic ferromagnetism is in general an intermediate to strong coupling phenomenon. Since there do not exist systematic analytic methods to investigate such types of problems, the microscopic origin of metallic ferromagnetism is still not…
We use the quasiclassical theory of superconductivity to calculate the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity. The theory is formulated for low temperatures when heat transport is limited by electron scattering from random…

The paradigmatic Migdal-Eliashberg theory of the electron-phonon problem is central to the understanding of superconductivity in conventional metals. This powerful framework is justified by the smallness of the Debye frequency relative to…
