We derive the formalism for steady state nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory in a real-time formalism along the Kadanoff-Baym contour. The resulting equations of motion are first transformed to Wigner coordinates (average and…
I argue that the validity of the new electrodynamic equations for superconductors proposed in my paper can and should be decided by experiment. Furthermore I show that BCS theory is ambiguous in its prediction of screening of longitudinal…
A relation between classical electrostatic fields and Schr\"odinger-like Hamiltonians is evidenced. Hence, supersymmetric quantum potentials analogous to classical electrostatic fields can be constructed. Proposing an ansatz for the…
We develop an inhomogeneous mean-field theory for the extended Bose-Hubbard model with a quadratic, confining potential. In the absence of this potential, our mean-field theory yields the phase diagram of the homogeneous extended…
It is a well known fact that the geometry of a superconducting sample influences the distribution of the surface superconductivity for strong applied magnetic fields. For instance, the presence of corners induces geometric terms described…
