The motto of connectivity and superconductivity is that the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations are qualitatively influenced by the topology of the boundaries, as in multiply connected samples. Special attention is paid to the "zero set", the set of positions (usually known as "quantum vortices") where the order parameter vanishes. The effects considered here usually become important in the regime where the coherence length is of the order of the dimensions of the sample. It takes the intuition of physicists and the awareness of mathematicians to find these new effects. In Connectivity and Superconductivity, theoretical and experimental physicists are brought together with pure and applied mathematicians to review these surprising results. This volume is intended to serve as a reference book for graduate students and researchers in physics or mathematics interested in superconductivity, or in the Schrödinger equation as a limiting case of the Ginzburg-Landau equations.
