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 dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} in the underdoped region. There are, however, indications of dxyd_{xy} condensation in the overdoped region, at least in this approximation to the 2D Hubbard model.
