Collective Excitations in Unconventional Superconductors and Superfluids
Peter Brusov, Pavel Brusov

The monograph is devoted to the theoretical investigation of the collective excitations in superfluid quantum liquids and superconductors with nontrivial pairing. Among superfluid quantum liquids we consider superfluid 3He, superfluid 4He, superfluid 3He–4He mixtures, superfluid 3He–films, superfluid 3He and superfluid 3He–4He mixtures in aerogel. Among superconductors we consider high temperature superconductors, heavy-fermion superconductors and superconducting films. We describe shortly the relativistic analogs of 3He and discuss the connections between 3He theory and gauge field theory. Important feature of this manuscript is the use of one method through the whole book – the path (functional) integral technique. Monograph will be useful for theorists as well as for experimentalists, studying superfluids and superconductors, low temperature physics, condensed matter physics, solid state physics, quantum liquids. It could be used by graduate students specializing in the same areas. Because description in the monograph includes the basic principles and is self-consistent and detailed the advanced undergraduate students can use it as a textbook on low temperature physics, quantum liquids and superconductors as well as on condensed matter physics.
