Abstract

A superconductor in a strong magnetic field is studied by means of a large-order perturbational series for the Ginzburg-Landau model. By evaluation of the free energy and the Abrikosov ratio in the flux-liquid phase, the melting points of the Abrikosov lattice are examined in two and three dimensions.
