Using a sophisticated weak-coupling approach, exact within certain limits, it shows that proper treatment of spin-orbit and multi-band effects is crucial to the physics. Based on the results of these calculations, it resolves a crucial, long-standing puzzle in the field: It demonstrates why the experimentally observed time-reversal breaking is not incompatible with the observed lack of measurable edge currents. Lastly, the thesis makes predictions for the properties of the material under uniaxial strain, which are in good agreement with recent experiments ?resolving the mystery of the so-called 3K phase, and suggesting the intriguing possibility that under strain the superconductor may become conventional. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSuperconductivity 606 $aSuperconductors 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25064 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005 615 0$aSuperconductivity. 615 0$aSuperconductors. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aStrongly Correlated Systems, Superconductivity. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a537.623 700 $aScaffidi$b Thomas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0825083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254576503321 996 $aWeak-Coupling Theory of Topological Superconductivity$92283943 997 $aUNINA
