Collective modes in singlet superconductors


Abstract in English

A brief summary of collective mode excitations that can exist in singlet superconductors with irreducible representation $L$ is given. Such excitations may be classified as the coupled excitations of the charge density $rho$ and the phase $phi $ of the order parameter, or of the amplitude $Delta$ of order parameter. Each of these classes may be further characterized in the long wavelength limit by the irreducible representation $ell$ of the excitation, which may or may not be the same as the ground state $L$.
