We derive a generalized Ward identity for color-superconducting quark matter via the functional integral approach. The identity implies the gauge independence of the color-superconducting gap parameter on the quasi-particle mass shell to…
We study suppression of superconductivity by disorder in d-wave superconductors, and predict the existence of (at least) two sequential low temperature transitions as a function of increasing disorder: a d -wave to -wave, and then an s-wave…
In contrast to conventional s-wave superconductivity, unconventional (e.g. p or d-wave) superconductivity is strongly suppressed even by relatively weak disorder. Upon approaching the superconductor-metal transition, the order parameter…
We develop a theory of the conductance of superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions in the case where the superconducting order parameter has d-wave symmetry. At low temperature the conductance is proportional to the square root…

Evaluating quantum loop corrections to curvature perturbations in non-attractor inflation presents theoretical ambiguities. A crucial aspect of this challenge lies in the unconstrained finite contributions in renormalization counterterms…
Metals interacting via short-range antiferromagnetic fluctuations are unstable to sign-changing superconductivity at low temperatures. For the cuprates, this leading instability leads to the well known $d-$wave superconducting state.…

A perturbation theory and a diagram technique for a disordered metal are proposed when scattering of quasiparticles by nonmagnetic impurities is caused with a retarded interaction. The perturbation theory generalizes a case of the elastic…
The low-energy quasiparticle states of a disordered d-wave superconductor are investigated theoretically. A class of such states, formed via tunneling between the Andreev bound states that are localized around extended impurities (and…
We propose a characterization of zero temperature phases in disordered superconductors on the basis of the nature of quasiparticle transport. In three dimensional systems, there are two distinct phases in close analogy to the distinction…
In some newly discovered materials the ratio of phonon to electron energies is no longer small. We have investigated the basement of the recently proposed gauge-invariant self-consistent method and found conditions of its applicability.
