susceptibility to a transverse field $\perp {\bf B}$) show a critical divergence, implying the presence of a transverse Meissner effect in the BG phase \[44\]. The details of calculations of these response quantities near a BG transition will not be given here and can be found in ref.19 together with the corresponding results in the Gaussian splayed-glass transitions \[45\].

Interestingly, the corresponding situation with $B_{\rm VG}(T) > B_m(T)$ also occurs in the case \[24\] with only point disorder. Under the same assumption as that used above for $B_{\rm BG}(T)$, we find a $B_{\rm
VG}(T)$-line \[17\] $$B_{\rm VG}(T) \simeq \biggl({{\Delta^{(p)}} \over {\theta_f(T)}}
\biggr)^2 B_{dc}(T)=H_{c2}(0) {{\xi_0 (\Delta^{(p)})^2} \over
{\sqrt{\Gamma} (\theta_f(T))^3}} (-\mu_0) \eqno(2.26)$$ linear in $-\mu_0$, where $B_{dc}(T)$ is the so-called decoupling crossover line \[34\]. In this case, the resulting lower critical point $B_{\rm lcp}^{(p)}$ $$B_{\rm lcp}^{(p)} \sim 10^{-2} H_{c2}(0) \biggl({{\xi_0} \over
{\sqrt{\Gamma} d}} \biggr)^3 {{(\Delta^{(p)})^6} \over
{(\theta_f(T))^7}} \eqno(2.27)$$ is usually much smaller than but has similar dependences on the pinning and fluctuation strengths to the corresponding $B_{\rm lcp}^{(l)}$. We note that the above expression was derived in the lowest order in $\Delta^{(p)}$. An inclusion of the next order contribution to $I_{\rm
irr}$ tends to increase $B_{\rm lcp}^{(p)}$-value, although the resulting dependences on
