Large N study of extreme type II superconductors in a magnetic field

Abstract

The large N analysis of an extreme type II superconductor is revisited. It is found that the phase transition is of second-order in dimensions 4 < d < 6. For the physical dimension d=3 no sign of phase transition is found, contrary to early claims.
