• ``Vortices and Quasiparticles in Superconductors: A Modern Primer'', Lecture at the NSF Summer School in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics, July 2000, Boulder, CO . An elementary introduction to the art of construction of effective quantum field theories of strongly fluctuating superconductors. Among the topics discussed: Cooper pair-vortex duality and renormalization group analysis of the scalar Higgs electrodynamics (SHE) (don't miss the very last page!). What do those anomalous dimensions really mean? Magnetic field effects. Thermal versus quantum fluctuations (3D versus 2+1D Euclidean space). Vortices as (relativistic or non-relativistic) bosons, BdG nodal quasiparticles as Dirac fermions and their mutual (topological) interactions as gauge fields. Unfortunately, only rather sketchy transparencies of this lecture are available in .pdf format. Still, particularly when combined with the ITP talk above, it can serve as a useful backdrop for the more advanced material discussed in other presentations on this page.
