6 Basic concepts Cooper-pairing What is the Higgs mechanism? The Higgs mechanism is the dynamical generation of a mass of a gauge-boson (mediating interactions) resulting from the coupling to some matter field. In superconductors, it is the generation of a mass of the photon. Superconductors have radically different electrodynamics compared to non-superconductors. The Higgs mass therefore distinguishes a metallic state from a superconducting state.

18 Order parameter of SFs and SCs Building a theory of Superconductivity A theory of wave-function of Cooper-pairs Ψ(r) = Ψ(r) e iθ(r) This theory needs to be able to somehow distinguish (by an order parameter OP) the high-temperature normal metallic state from the low-temperature superconducting state. An OP is the expectation value of some operator that effectively distinguishes an ordered state from a disordered state, separated by a phase transition. Two states separated by a phase transition cannot be analytically continued from one to the other. What is the order parameter of a superconductor? beamer-tu-log

68 Lattice gauge theory Current loops Vortex loops 3D superconductors and superfluids are dual Vortices in a three-dimensional superconductor behave like supercurrents in a superfluid, and vice versa, with inverted temperature axes. 3D superfluids and superconductors are dual to each other. The field theory of one is the field theory of the topoligical defects (vortices) of the matter-field of the other. Order parameter for a superfluid is the superfluid density (non-local) or the condensate fraction (local). OP for a superconductor is the Higgs mass (non-local). Higgs mass is created by supercurrent-loop proliferation, and is destroyed by vortex-loop proliferation.
