42. For strongly type-II superconductors in fields which are a significant fraction of (Formula presented) fluctuations in the internal magnetic field are negligible and will be ignored here. To leading order they can be accounted for perturbatively by replacing them by their thermodynamic averages. See D. J. Thouless, Phys. Rev. Lett. 34, 946 (1975).
