Abstract
The transport properties associated with vortex motion in type-II superconductors are reformulated in terms of linear response theory (LRT). In particular, in the dirty limit we establish a simple relation between LRT and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. In the more general case of a type-II superconductor with arbitrary electronic mean free path, we present the expressions for the transport coefficients in terms of retarded products. These expressions will be particularly useful in determining the transport properties of clean type-II superconductors.
