BCS states and D-wave condensates in the 2D Hubbard model
Abstract
We consider states of BCS form in the 2D Hubbard model which, starting from some arbitrary point in state space in the neighborhood of a Hartree-Fock ground state, are relaxed within that BCS ansatz to local minima of the energy. As in the Hartree-Fock approximation there are a vast number of local minima, nearly degenerate in energy. What is new, and unlike the conventional Hartree-Fock states, is that there is a region in parameter space where these local minima are clearly associated with d-wave condensates of the form in the underdoped region. There are, however, indications of condensation in the overdoped region, at least in this approximation to the 2D Hubbard model.
