added this pointer for discussion of superconductivity via AdS/CFT in condensed matter physics:
I have added these pointers:
S. J. Chapman, A Hierarchy of Models for Type-II Superconductors, IAM Review Vol. 42, No. 4 (Dec., 2000), pp. 555-598 (jstor:2653134)
Carsten Timm, Theory of Superconductivity, 2020 (pdf)
What I was really looking for is a citable source whose author would state clearly that the flux/vortex quantization is mathematically due to the one-point compactification of the transversal plane being the 2-sphere, whose π2 is ℤ.
Of course if one knows this then one can recognize this is as being the secret underlying reason of the usual arguments (e.g. Chapman 2.33 or Timm p. 27), but I was hoping a published author would more openly admit this.
The closest I have found is p. 6-7 (Section IV.B) of
which comes closer to making this explicit.
Am preparing an illustration of fluxon quantization in superconductors. A first version is here. Not included on the nLab page yet, as I need to call it quits for tonight.
Now I have written a few lines in a new section Magnetic flux quantization in type II superconductors, including those graphics.
I think I’ll want to give that paragraph a little stand-alone entry of its own, for ease of cross-linking elsewhere (such as at Dirac charge quantization, magnetic charge, vortex and maybe elsewhere, too)

I have added pointer to these “lecture slides”, which are pretty good in their format:
The fist pdf is titled “Chapter 10”, but I haven’t figured out yet which course this is chapter 10 of, nor who the author is
