Fermionic superfluids can undergo phase transitions into different kinds of normal regimes, loosely characterized by whether Cooper pairs remain locally stable. If the normal phase retains strong pairing fluctuations, it behaves like a…
In part I of this paper a modified BCS mechanism of Cooper pair formation of electrons was proposed. This mechanism is connected with the existence of a narrow, roughly half-filled "superconducting energy band" of given symmetry. The…

The Cooper pair is generally analyzed in momentum space, but its real-space structure also follows directly from the BCS theory. It is shown here that this leads to a spherically symmetrical quasi-atomic wavefunction, with an identical…

We show that in a superconductor where two or more bands cross the Fermi level it is possible, in the framework of the conventional (s-wave) BCS theory, that the sign of the superconducting gap is different on the different sheets of the…
The phase transition between charge- and spin-density-wave (CDW, SDW) phases is studied in the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model at half-filling. We discuss whether the transition can be described by the Gaussian and the spin-gap…

A pair density wave (PDW) is a superconductor whose order parameter is a periodic function of space, without an accompanying spatially-uniform component. Since PDWs are not the outcome of a weak-coupling instability of a Fermi liquid, a…
