We address the question of whether anisotropic superconductivity is compatible with the evidently weak sensitivity of the critical temperature Tc to sample quality in the high-Tc copper oxides. We examine this issue quantitatively by…
We use exact diagonalization techniques to study the interplay between strong correlations, superconductivity, and disorder in a model system. We study an extension of the t-J model by adding an infinite-range d-wave superconductivity…

Determinant quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) simulations are used to study non-linear electron-phonon interactions in a two-dimensional Holstein-like model on a square lattice. We examine the impact of non-linear electron-lattice interactions on…

High-$T_c$ superconductors are characterized by very low carrier densities. This feature leads to two fundamental consequences: on one hand the Fermi energies are correspondingly small and they can be of the same order of phonon…
We formulate a rigorous method for calculating a nonadiabatic (frequency-dependent) exchange-correlation (XC) kernel required for correct description of both equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of strongly correlated systems within…

In view of some recent works on the role of vertex corrections in the electron-phonon system we readress an important question of the validity of the Migdal-Eliashberg theory. Based on the solution of the Holstein model and inverse coupling…
To understand the role of electronic nematic order in the interplay between s- and d-wave particle-particle or particle-hole condensate states, relations between various s- and d-wave order parameters are studied. We find that the nematic…
The electrical {\em dc}-conductivity of disordered, non-interacting electrons is calculated in the asymptotic limit of high lattice dimensions $d\to \infty$. To go beyond the lowest-order contribution in the expansion parameter $1/d$ of the…
As an extension of our previous work on the holon pairing instability in the t-J Hamiltonian [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 66}, 054427 (2002)], we examine the orbital symmetries of holon pairing order parameters in high $T_c$ superconductivity by…
We show that vertex corrections to Migdal's theorem in general induce an odd-frequency spin-triplet superconducting order parameter, which coexists with its more commonly known even-frequency spin-singlet counterpart. Fully self-consistent…
The Peierls instability in one-dimensional electron-phonon systems is known to be qualitatively well described by the Mean-Field theory, however the related self-consistent problem so far has only been able to predict a partial suppression…

We consider normal state properties, the pairing instability temperature, and the structure of the pairing gap in electron-doped cuprates. We assume that the pairing is mediated by collective spin excitations, with antiferromagnetism…
