Abstract

We calculate the phase diagram of a ladder system, with a Hubbard interaction and an interchain coupling tt_\perp. We use a Renormalization Group method, in a one loop expansion, introducing an original method to include kk_{||} dependence of couplings. We also classify the order parameters corresponding to ladder instabilities. We obtain different results, depending on whether we include kk_{||} dependence or not. When we do so, we observe a region with large antiferromagnetic fluctuations, in the vicinity of small tt_\perp, followed by a superconducting region with a simultaneous divergence of the Spin Density Waves channel. We also investigate the effect of a non local backward interchain scattering : we observe, on one hand, the suppression of singlet superconductivity and of Spin Density Waves, and, on the other hand, the increase of Charge Density Waves and, for some values of tt_\perp, of triplet superconductivity. Our results eventually show that kk_{||} is an influential variable in the Renormalization Group flow, for this kind of systems.
