A hydrodynamic approach to the Bose-Glass transition

Abstract

Nonlinear hydrodynamics is used to evaluate disorder-induced corrections to the vortex liquid tilt modulus for finite screening length and arbitrary disorder geometry. Explicit results for aligned columnar defects yield a criterion for locating the Bose glass transition line at all fields.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures.
