In a class of two-component Ginzburg-Landau models (TCGL) with a U(1)$\times$U(1) symmetric potential, vortices with a condensate at their core may have significantly lower energies than the Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) ones. On the…

The d-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model is solved according to a variational method by separating phase and amplitude. The GL transition becomes first order for high superfluid density because of effects of phase fluctuations.…
Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations and GL free energy for flux phase and superconductivity are derived microscopically from the $t-J$ model on a square lattice. Order parameter (OP) for the flux phase has direct coupling to a magnetic field, in…
In this paper we study the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations on a smooth, bounded domain $\Omega \subset \Rn{2}$, subject to an electrical current applied on the boundary. The dynamics with an applied current are non-dissipative, but…

We present a gauged Lifshitz Lagrangian including second and forth order spatial derivatives of the scalar field and a Chern-Simons term, and study non-trivial solutions of the classical equations of motion. While the coefficient beta of…
A variant of the usual Lagrangian scheme is developed which describes both the equations of motion and the variational equations of a system. The required (prolonged) Lagrangian is defined in an extended configuration space comprising both…
With increasing applied current we show that the moving vortex lattice changes its structure from a triangular one to a set of parallel vortex rows in a pinning free superconductor. This effect originates from the change of the shape of the…
The aim of the paper is to study some dynamic aspects coming from a tangent form, i.e. a time dependent differential form on a tangent bundle. The action on curves of a tangent form is natural associated with that of a second order…

The recent discovery that some of the coefficients of the viscosity tensor are negative is shown to invalidate the hydrodynamic approach to the vortex liquid phase of a type-II superconductor. A satisfactory theory requires retention of all…

We give a rigorous mathematical result, supported by numerical simulations, of the aggregation of a concentrated vortex blob with an underlying non-constant vorticity field: the blob moves in the direction of the gradient of the field. It…
