Abstract
We determine the phase diagram of a quasi-one-dimensional conductor (weakly coupled chains system with an open Fermi surface) in a magnetic field. The usual Ginzburg-Landau regime is followed, when the field is increased, by a cascade of superconducting phases separated by first order transitions, which ends with a strong reentrance of the superconducting phase. These new phases show a novel kind of symmetry of laminar type. The Zeeman splitting does not completely suppress the reentrance in very strong field, the ground state being in this case a Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell state.
