Ward identities for disordered metals and superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
This article revisits Ward identities for disordered interacting normal metals and superconductors. It offers a simple derivation based on gauge invariance and recasts the identities in a new form that allows easy analysis of the quasiparticle charge conservation (as e.g. in a normal metal) or non-conservation (as e.g. in a d-wave superconductor).

Differential identities for parametric correlation functions in disordered systems.
We derive a family of differential identities for parametric correlation functions in disordered systems by casting them as first- or second-order Ward identities of an associated matrix model. We show that this approach allows for a systematic classification of such identities, and provides a template for deriving higher-order results. We also reestablish and generalize some identities of this...
متن کاملScattering problem in nonequilibrium quasiclassical theory of metals and superconductors: General boundary conditions and applications
I derive a general set of boundary conditions for quasiclassical transport theory of metals and superconductors that is valid for equilibrium and nonequilibrium situations and includes multiband systems, weakly and strongly spin-polarized systems, and disordered systems. The formulation is in terms of the normal state scattering matrix. Various special cases for boundary conditions are known in...
متن کاملKeldysh technique and nonlinear σ–model: basic principles and applications
The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive pedagogical introduction into Keldysh technique for interacting out–of–equilibrium fermionic and bosonic systems. The emphasis is put on a functional integral representation of underlying microscopic models. A large part of the review is devoted to derivation and applications of nonlinear σ–model for disordered metals and superconductors....
متن کاملComment on "Giant Nernst effect due to fluctuating Cooper pairs in superconductors".
A comment is made on a letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 067001) and a paper (Phys. Rev. B 83, 020506) regarding the correct expression of the thermal current vertex for Cooper pairs. In the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory [1, 2] the electronic current ~ J and the thermal current ~ J carried by fluctuating Cooper pairs (T > Tc) are given as ~ J = 2e ~ J, (1) and ~ J = ω ~ J, (2) in the limit of vanishi...
متن کاملComment on "Ward identities for transport of classical waves in disordered media".
Recently Nieh et al. [Phys. Rev. E 57, 1145 (1998)] have considered a version of derivation of the Ward identities for scalar and vector classical wave field propagation in random media and noted that their results are in contradiction with those obtained by Barabanenkov and Ozrin [Phys. Lett. A 154, 38 (1991)]. In this Comment we show that the derivation given by Nieh et al. is based on an inc...
