This chapter emphasizes new magnetic properties that arise when inversion symmetry is broken in a superconductor. There are two aspects that will be covered in detail. The first topic encompasses physics related to superconducting magnetoelectric effects that arise from broken inversion symmetry. Broken inversion symmetry allow for Lifshitz invariants in the free energy which can be viewed as a coupling between the magnetic induction and the supercurrent. There are similarities between these invariants and the better known Dzyaloshinskii-Moyira interaction in magnetic systems. These Lifshitz invariants give rise to anomalous magnetic properties as well as new phases in the presence of magnetic fields. Here, we will describe the consequences of these Lifshitz invariants, provide estimates for the relative magnitudes of the novel effects, and discuss the important role that crystal symmetry plays in understanding this physics. Finally, we provide a discussion of the fate of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phases in broken inversion superconductors. In particular, we show how broken inversion symmetry can have a profound effect on the stability, existence, and properties of FFLO phases.

Effect of superconducting fluctuations on nonreciprocal dichroism and gyrotropy
Fluctuating Cooper pairs above Tc produce closed-form nonreciprocal dichroism and gyrotropic birefringence that diverge as 1/(T−Tc) and require particle-hole asymmetry plus a cubic Lifshitz invariant.

AC-flux-driven SQUID diode spectroscopy as a probe of current-phase relations
AC flux modulation dresses CPR harmonics with distinct Bessel functions, producing characteristic patterns in diode efficiency η(φ_ac, ω) that enable spectroscopic separation.

Superconducting diode efficiency from singlet-triplet mixing in disordered systems
Disorder scattering can reverse the sign of the superconducting diode efficiency at weak Rashba coupling and can induce a finite diode effect at strong Rashba coupling through singlet-triplet mixing.

Topological in-gap chiral edge states in superconducting Haldane model with spin-orbit coupling
In the Haldane model with s-wave pairing, Rashba spin-orbit coupling moves chiral edge states inside the superconducting gap and can produce a gapless topological superconducting phase.
