Ginzburg-Landau theory of dark energy: A framework to study both temporal and spatial cosmological tensions simultaneously [PDF]
A dark energy model (DE) is proposed based on Ginzburg-Landau theory of phase transition (GLT). This model, GLTofDE, surprisingly provides a framework to study not only temporal tensions in cosmology e.g. $H_0$ tension but also spatial anomalies of CMB e.

Mean string field theory: Landau-Ginzburg theory for 1-form symmetries
By analogy with the Landau-Ginzburg theory of ordinary zero-form symmetries, we introduce and develop a Landau-Ginzburg theory of one-form global symmetries, which we call mean string field theory.

Vortex nucleation in superconductors within time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory in two and three dimensions: Role of surface defects and material inhomogeneities [PDF]
We use time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory to study the nucleation of vortices in type-II superconductors in the presence of both geometric and material inhomogeneities.

Excited States of “Elementary” Particles in Gauge-Higgs Theories [PDF]
We show that the gauge and scalar fields which surround static ions in the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity have a spectrum of excitations which are potentially observable.

Superconductors with a Topological Gap
I review a new superconductivity mechanism in which the gap is opened through a topological mechanism and not through the Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Dual Variational Formulations for a Large Class of Non-Convex Models in the Calculus of Variations
This article develops dual variational formulations for a large class of models in variational optimization. The results are established through basic tools of functional analysis, convex analysis and duality theory.

Extended Time-Dependent Ginzburg–Landau Theory [PDF]
We formulate the gauge invariant Lorentz covariant Ginzburg–Landau theory which describes nonstationary regimes: relaxation of a superconducting system accompanied by eigen oscillations of internal degrees of freedom (Higgs mode and Goldstone mode) and ...

Two-Dimensional Discommensurations: An Extension to McMillan’s Ginzburg–Landau Theory
Charge density waves (CDWs) profoundly affect the electronic properties of materials and have an intricate interplay with other collective states, like superconductivity and magnetism.

Ginzburg-Landau theory for skyrmions in inversion-symmetric magnets with competing interactions [PDF]
Magnetic skyrmions have attracted considerable attention recently for their huge potential in spintronic applications. Generally skyrmions are big compared to the atomic lattice constant, which allows for the Ginzburg-Landau type description in the ...
