Abstract
We propose a macroscopic description of the superconducting state in presence of an applied external magnetic field in terms of first order differential equations. They describe a corrugated two-component order parameter intertwined with a spin-charged background, caused by spin correlations and charged dislocations. The first order differential equations are a consequence of a Weitzenböck-Liechnorowitz identity which renders a SUL(2) \otimes UL(1) invariant ground state, based on (L) local rotational and electromagnetic gauge symmetry. The proposal is based on a long ago developed formalism by Élie Cartan to investigate curved spaces, viewed as a collection of small Euclidean granules that are translated and rotated with respect to each other. Élie Cartan's formalism unveils the principle of local rotational invariance as a gauge symmetry because the global SU(2) invariance of the order parameter is turned local by the interlacement of spin and charge to pairing.
