Fluctuation-induced first-order transition in<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>p</mml:mi></mml:math>-wave superconductors

The problem of a fluctuation-induced first-order transition is considered for $p $-wave superconductors. Both an $\epsilon$-expansion about $d=4$ and a large-$n$ expansion conclude that the transition for the physical case $n=6$ in $d=3$ is of first order, as in the s-wave case.
