Surface superconductivity and in UPt
Surface superconductivity is studied within Ginzburg-Landau theory for two
classes of models for the order parameter of UPt. The first class assumes
two independent one-dimensional order parameters ( models), while the
second assumes a single two-dimensional order parameter ( models).
is calculated for all cases where the surface normal and magnetic field lie
along high symmetry directions. Assuming specular reflection, it is found that
except when , the ratio is either
unity or equals its `s-wave' value 1.695, although the precise vs.
curve predicted by the and models differs for various geometries. The
results are compared with recent experiments, and predictions are made for
future experiments.Comment: 26 pages, with 6 figure
Singularities and normal forms of smooth distributions
In this expository paper we present main results (from classical to recent) on local classification of smooth distributions
Singularities and normal forms of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds
We give a complete classification of germs of generic 2-distributions on 3-manifolds. By a 2-distribution we mean either a module generated by two vector fields (at singular points its dimension decreases) or a Pfaff equation, i.e. a module generated by a differential 1-form (at singular points the dimension of its kernel increases)
