We review application of the SU(4) model of strongly-correlated electrons to cuprate and iron-based superconductors. A minimal self-consistent generalization of BCS theory to incorporate antiferromagnetism on an equal footing with pairing…
The superconducting gap - an energy scale tied to the superconducting phenomena-opens on the Fermi surface at the superconducting transition temperature (TC) in conventional BCS superconductors. Quite differently, in underdoped high-TC…
The intimate connection between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is at the core of high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we put forward the projected BCS theory for the unification of antiferromagnetism at half filling and…
I argue that the validity of the new electrodynamic equations for superconductors proposed in my paper can and should be decided by experiment. Furthermore I show that BCS theory is ambiguous in its prediction of screening of longitudinal…
How the superconductivity in unconventional superconductors emerges from the diverse mother normal states is still a big puzzle. Whatever the mother normal states are the superconductivity is {\em normal} with BCS-like behaviours of the…
The equation for the gap parameter represents the main equation of the pairing theory of superconductivity. Although it is formally defined through a single-particle property, physically it reflects the pairing correlations between…
We construct a pair potential which in a scaling limit leads to a Hamiltonian that generates co-existing mean-field and superconducting phases. Depending on the relative values of the coupling constants, the superconducting phase may exist…

The dynamics of BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer) superconductors is fairly well understood due to the availability of a mean field solution for the pairing Hamiltonian, a solution which gives the quantum state of superconductor as a state of…
Recent experiments indicate that the excitation spectrum of the cuprates is characterised, in the superconducting state, by two energy scales: the ``coherence energy'' \Delta_c and the ``pseudogap'' \Delta_p. Here we consider a simple…
Using a proposed numerical technique for calculating anomalous Green's functions characteristic of superconductivity, we show that the low-lying excitations in a wide parameter and doping region of the two-dimensional $t$$-$$J$ model are…
We calculated the optical conductivity $\sigma(T,\Omega)$ of a gas of Bogoliubov quasiparticles (BQP) from their Green's function and the Kubo formula. We compare with corresponding normal state (N) and superconducting state (SC) results.…
Pseudogap phase in superconductors continues to be an outstanding puzzle that differentiates unconventional superconductors from the conventional ones (BCS-superconductors). Employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy on a highly…
The newly discovered iron pnictide superconductors apparently present an unusual case of interband-channel pairing superconductivity. Here we show that, in the limit where the pairing occurs within the interband channel, several surprising…

We study a simple model of a two-dimensional s-wave superconductor in the presence of a random potential in the regime of large disorder. We first use the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) approach to show that, with increasing disorder the…
