We investigate the thermodynamic properties of a dilute Bose gas in a correlated random potential using exact path integral Monte Carlo methods. The study is carried out in continuous space and disorder is produced in the simulations by a…
The nature of the superfluid-to-Bose-glass (SF-BG) quantum phase transition, occurring in systems of interacting bosons immersed in a disordered environment, remains elusive. One fundamental open question is whether or not the transition…
We study the tunneling density of states (DoS) in the superconducting systems driven by Zeeman splitting E_Z into the paramagnetic phase. We show that, even though the BCS gap disappears, superconducting fluctuations cause a strong DoS…
The true character of physical phenomena is thought to be reinforced as the system becomes disorder-free. In contrast, the two-dimensional (2D) superconductor is predicted to turn fragile and resistive away from the limit I -> 0, B -> 0, in…
By the example of Heisenberg $d$-dimensional disordered non-frustrated antiferromagnets, we discuss quantum transitions at $d\ge2$ from magnetically ordered (superfluid) to various disorder-induced insulating phases (Bose-glass, Mott-glass,…

The defect-rich morphology of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) thin films leads to a glass-like arrangement of Abrikosov vortices which causes the resistance to disappear in vanishing current densities. This vortex glass consists of…
This paper emphasizes that non-linear rotational or diamagnetic susceptibility is characteristic of Bose fluids above their superfluid Tcs. For sufficiently slow rotation or, for superconductors, weak B-fields this amounts to an…
A strong periodic potential generally enhances the short wavelength fluctuations of a superfluid beyond the validity of standard continuum approaches. Here we report some recent results on hard core bosons on finite lattices. We find…
We study a one-dimensional disordered Bose fluid using bosonization, the replica method and a nonperturbative functional renormalization-group approach. We find that the Bose-glass phase is described by a fully attractive strong-disorder…
This article reviews the current status of precursor superconducting phase fluctuations as a possible mechanism for pseudogap formation in high-temperature superconductors. In particular we compare this approach which relies on the…
The vortex glass transition in the presence of columnar defects is studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a vortex loop model, suggested by the analogy to the $T=0$ superconductor-insulator transition for dirty bosons in (2+1)D. From…
In this paper we demonstrate how, using a natural generalization of BCS theory, superconducting phase coherence manifests itself in phase insensitive measurements, when there is a smooth evolution of the excitation gap \Delta from above to…
Motivated in part by the numerical simulations [ky,kosterlitz1,kosterlitz2] which reveal that the energy to create a defect in a gauge or phase glass scales as $L^{\theta}$ with $\theta<0$ for 2D, thereby implying a vanishing stiffness, we…
We discuss transport and localization properties on the insulating side of the disorder dominated superconductor-insulator transition, described in terms of the dirty boson model. Analyzing the spectral properties of the interacting bosons…
We consider the Eliashberg theory in the coupling region where some fundamental qualitative deviations from the conventional BCS-like behaviour begin to appear. These deviations are identified as the onset of a cross-over from BCS…
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…
This paper emphasizes that non-linear rotational or diamagnetic susceptibility is characteristic of Bose fluids above their superfluid Tcs, and for sufficiently slow rotation or weak B-fields amounts to an incompressible response to…
For a hard-core Bose gas on a one-dimensional lattice we find characteristic oscillations in the density-density correlation function. Their wavelength diverges as the system undergoes a continuous transition from an incommensurate to a…
We establish the general equations of motion for the modes of a vortex lattice in a rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensate in three dimensions, taking into account the elastic energy of the lattice and the vortex line bending energy. As…
