COMMENT: The superfluid phase transition in pulsars
Abstract
Renormalization group equations are derived from the Ginzburg-Landau free energy for p-wave paired neutron-star matter in the presence of large magnetic fields. The effect of fluctuations on the nature of the superfluid phase transition is discussed.
