A phenomenological model {ital F} of the superconducting phase of electronic systems with strong short-range repulsive interactions is studied. Fluctuations of the connection {bold a} of an internal U(1) gauge symmetry suppress local charge fluctuations. Above {ital H}{sub {ital c}1}, magnetic flux can pierce the superconductor in vortices with flux {ital hc}/2{ital e} throughout the superconducting phase, but regimes are found in which the lowest-energy configuration has vortices with flux {ital hc}/{ital e}. Experiments by Little and Parks and others, which examine periodicities as a function of a {ital varying} magnetic field, always observe a period in external flux of {ital hc}/2{ital e}. The low-energy properties of a symplectic large-{ital N} expansion of a model of the CuO{sub 2} layers of the cuprate superconductors are shown to be well described by {ital F}. This analysis and some normal-state properties of the cuprates suggest that {ital hc}/{ital e} vortices should be stable at the lowest dopings away from the insulating state at which superconductivity first occurs, unless the superconductor-normal transition is strongly first order.
