The critical properties of a type-II superconductor model are investigated using a dual vortex representation. Computing the propagators of gauge field $\vec{A}$ and dual gauge field $\vec{h}$ in terms of a vortex correlation function, we…
The existence of a {\it stable critical point}, separate from the Gaussian and XY critical points, of the Ginzburg-Landau theory for superconductors, is demonstrated by direct extraction via Monte-Carlo simulations, of a negative anomalous…
The critical fluctuations of superconductors are discussed in a fixed dimension scaling suited to describe the type II regime. The gauge dependence of the anomalous dimension of the scalar field is stablished exactly from the Ward-Takahashi…
In the vicinity of a phase transition, the order parameter starts fluctuating before vanishing at the critical point. The fluctuation regime, i.e. the way the ordered phase disappears, is a characteristics of a transition, and determines…
An effective field theory is derived for the normal metal-to-superconductor quantum phase transition at T=0. The critical behavior is determined exactly for all dimensions d>2. Although the critical exponents \beta and \nu do not exist, the…
We study an unconventional phase transition in ferroelectrics where the polarization field is constrained to be divergence-free, allowing only loop-like configurations. This local constraint fundamentally alters the critical behavior,…
We consider the effects of critical superconducting fluctuations on the scaling of the linear a.c. conductivity, \sigma(\omega), of a bulk superconductor slightly above Tc in zero applied magnetic field. The dynamic renormalization- group…
The critical dynamics of superconductors in the charged regime is reconsidered within field-theory. For the dynamics the Ginzburg-Landau model with complex order parameter coupled to the gauge field suggested earlier [Lannert et al. Phys.…
We make a connection between quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems, and supersymmetric gauge theories that are of interest in the particle physics literature. In particular, we point out interesting effects of the…
The renormalization group and operator product expansion are applied to the model of a passive scalar quantity advected by the Gaussian self-similar velocity field with finite, and not small, correlation time. The inertial-range energy…
We study the superconducting properties of a two-dimensional superconductor in the proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). In contrast to the 3D case, we find that the superconducting gap at T=0, the critical temperature…
We present a combination of analytical and numerical calculations for the critical behavior of a supersymmetric non-linear $\sigma$-model within the context of the localization transition of a disordered one-electron system. As a result, we…
I study the normal-to-superconducting (NS) transition within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) model, taking into account the fluctuations in the $m$-component complex order parameter $\psi\a$ and the vector potential $\vec A$ in the arbitrary…
The geometric properties of the critical fluctuations in abelian gauge theories such as the Ginzburg-Landau model are analyzed in zero background field. Using a dual description, we obtain scaling relations between exponents of geometric…
We report on a striking departure from the canonical step sequence of quantized conductance in a ballistic, quasi-one-dimensional metallic channel. Ideally, in such a structure, each sub-band population contributes its Landauer conductance…
We study anomalous mesoscopic transport effects at the onset of the superconducting transition focusing on the observed large Nernst-Ettinghausen signal in disordered thin films. In the vicinity of the transition, as the Ginzburg-Landau…
We study the properties of the phase transition in three dimensional U(1)+Higgs theory or Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity. Special attention is paid to large values of scalar self coupling (Type II superconductors), where the…
Strong anomalous diffusion is {often} characterized by a piecewise-linear spectrum of the moments of displacement. The spectrum is characterized by slopes $\xi$ and $\zeta$ for small and large moments, respectively, and by the critical…
We study the effect of critical fluctuations on the $(B,T)$ phase diagram in extreme type-II superconductors in zero and finite magnetic field using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations on the Ginzburg-Landau model in a frozen gauge…
By using the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm, we show that, near a quantum critical point (QCP), Cooper pairs at zero temperature would obey a nonlinear relativistic equation, where the imaginary time emerges as a novel dimension. This…
