Abstract
A hierarchy of models for type-II superconductors is presented. Through app ropriate asymptotic limits we pass from the mesoscopic Ginzburg-Landau mode l to the London model with isolated superconducting vortices as line singul arities, to vortex-density models, and finally to macroscopic critical-stat e models.
