Ward identities for disordered metals and superconductors
Abstract
This article revisits Ward identities for disordered interacting normal metals and superconductors. It offers a simple derivation based on gauge invariance and recasts the identities in a new form that allows easy analysis of the quasiparticle charge conservation (as e.g. in a normal metal) or non-conservation (as e.g. in a d-wave superconductor).
