Only-phase Popov action: thermodynamic derivation and superconducting electrodynamics
Luca Salasnich, Maria Guglielmina Pelizzo, Francesco Lorenzi
We provide a thermodynamic derivation of the only-phase Popov action functional, which is often adopted to study the low-energy effective hydrodynamics of a generic nonrelativistic…
