Spin fluctuations enter the calculation of the superconducting transition temperature T$_c$ only in the next-to-leading order (i.e., in O(1/N$^2$) of the 1/N expansion of the t-J model. We have calculated these terms and show that they have…
We present a general scenario for high-temperature superconducting cuprates, based on the presence of dynamical charge density waves (CDWs) and to the occurrence of a CDW quantum critical point, which occurs, e.g., at doping p~0.16 in YBCO.…
We review some recent progresses on the study of ultracold Fermi gases with synthetic spin-orbit coupling. In particular, we focus on the pairing superfluidity in these systems at zero temperature. Recent studies have shown that different…

Optimally doped YBCO (YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{7}$) has a high critical temperature, at 92 K. It is largely believed that Cooper pairs form in YBCO and other cuprates because of spin fluctuations, the issue and the detailed mechanism is far…
