An attempt to adapt the study of color flux tubes to the case of finite temperature has been made. The field is measured both through the correlator of two Polyakov loops, one of which connected to a plaquette, and through a connected…
Vortices are topological defects associated with superfluids and superconductors, which, when mobile, dissipate energy destroying the dissipation-less nature of the superfluid. The nature of this "quantum dissipation" is rooted in the…

At high magnetic field, the semiclassical approximation which underlies the Ginzburg-Landau theory of the mixed state of type II superconductors breaks down. In a quasi-1D superconductor with an {\it open Fermi surface}, a high magnetic…
In 1988, Nelson proposed that neighboring vortex lines in high-temperature superconductors may become entangled with each other. In this article we construct solutions to the Ginzburg--Landau equations which indeed have this property, as…
The presence of attractive interaction between fermions can lead to pairing and superfluidity in an optical lattice. The temperature needed to observe superfluidity is about a tenth of the tunneling energy in the optical lattice, and…
In this paper we study the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equation for Fermi liquid superconductors with strong Landau interactions $F_0$ and $F_1$. We show that Landau interactions renormalize two parameters entering the GL equation leading to…
Recent measurements of fluctuation diamagnetism in high temperature superconductors show distinct features above and below Tc, which can not be explained by simple gaussian fluctuation theory. Self consistent calculation of magnetization in…
A systematic calculation of magnetization and specific heat contributions due to fluctuations of vortex lattice in strongly type II superconductors to precision of 1% is presented. We complete the calculation of the two loop low temperature…
Interactions between vortices in thin superconducting films are investigated in the crossover (intertype) regime between superconductivity types I and II. We consider two main factors responsible for this crossover: a) changes in the…
It is shown that the temperature of the resistive transition $T_r$ of a superconducting film can be increased by a thin superconducting or normal overlayer. For instance, deposition of a highly conductive thin overlayer onto a dirty…
In the context of superfluid Fermi gases, the Ginzburg - Landau (GL) formalism for the macroscopic wave function has been successfully extended to the whole temperature range where the superfluid state exists. After reviewing the formalism,…
The interplay between dimensionality, coherence and interaction in superfluid Fermi gases is analyzed by the phase correlation function of the field of fermionic pairs. We calculate this phase correlation function for a two-dimensional…
