In this pedagogical introduction, I discuss theoretical aspects of superfluidity and superconductivity, mostly using a field-theoretical formalism. While the emphasis is on general concepts and mechanisms behind superfluidity, I also discuss various applications in low-energy and high-energy physics. Besides some introductory and standard topics such as superfluid helium and superfluidity in a simple scalar field theory, the lecture notes also include more advanced chapters, for instance discussions of the covariant two-fluid formalism and Cooper pairing with mismatched Fermi surfaces.

  1. Thermodynamics of homogeneous Universes: de Sitter, Bonnor-Melvin and static Einstein

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    De Sitter, Bonnor-Melvin-Λ and static Einstein universes share the same thermodynamic energy-density equation despite dissimilar matter fields, yielding zero cosmological constant in Minkowski vacuum.
