We study a toy model for a superconductor on a bipartite lattice, where intrinsic pairing inhomogeneity is produced by two different coupling constants on the sublattices. The simplicity of the model allows for analytic solutions and tests…

We present a detailed study of the recently proposed gapless color superconductivity in neutral two-flavor quark matter in beta-equilibrium at zero as well as at finite temperature. We clarify the nature of the fermionic quasiparticles, and…
Understanding the roles of disorder and superconducting phase fluctuation in superconductivity has been a long-standing challenge. For example, while the phase fluctuation is expected to destroy the superconductivity of intrinsically…
It is shown that the critical temperature of the superconductor is related to the Sommerfeld constant, i.e. it is determined by the Fermi energy for I-type superconductors. The estimation of properties of II-type superconductors reveals a…
Superconductivity is usually assumed to arise from attractive interaction. In this work we show that strong pairing is possible soley from kinetic energy even without a net attraction. We demonstrate a high-temperature kinetic…

It is proposed that in high temperature superconductors Cooper pairs form and condense due to the monotonic-oscillatory transition in the pair potential of mean force, which occurs quite generally at high coupling in charge systems. It is…

The superconducting state of the heavy-fermion metal UTe$_2$ has attracted considerable interest because of evidence for spin-triplet Cooper pairing and non-trivial topology. Progress on these questions requires identifying the presence or…
Based on experimental results and our previous theoretical work, a microscopic theory of high temperature superconductivity is conjectured. In this conjecture, superconducting and antiferromagnetic long-range orders are driven by interlayer…

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the metamaterial approach is capable of drastic increase of the critical temperature Tc of epsilon near zero (ENZ) metamaterial superconductors. For example, tripling of the critical temperature has…
The measurements (Phys.Rev.B {\bf 100}, 220504(R) (2019)) do not detect noticeable thermal conductivity in superconducting UTe$_2$ in the T=0 limit. At the same time the same crystals exhibit a large residual density of states comparable…
The symmetry of the superconducting order parameter, or simply the ``gap'', provides certain constraints on the actual mechanism that gives rise to pairing and ultimately to superconductivity. In this work we show how superconducting phases…
