It is argued that a superconducting instability appears in the electronic states on the surface of a topological insulator due purely to electromagnetic interactions. The discussion of this instability is based on the analysis of the…
We present a strong-weak coupling duality for quantum mechanical potentials. Similarly to what happens in quantum field theory, it relates two problems with inverse couplings, leading to a mapping of the strong coupling regime into the weak…

We study the normal state and pairing instability in electron-doped cuprates near optimal doping. We show that the fermionic self-energy has a non-Fermi liquid form leading to peculiar frequency dependencies of the conductivity and the…
We introduce a new and general mechanism for superconductivity in Fermi systems with strong repulsive interaction. Because kinetic terms are small compared to the bare repulsion, the dynamic of charge carriers is constrained by the the…

Superconductivity is caused by the interaction between electrons by the exchange of collective bosonic excitations, however, this bosonic glue forming electron pairs is manifested itself by the coupling strength of the electrons to…
The temperature dependence of the amplitude and phase of the electric potential arising at a plane boundary of a conductor when a longitudinal acoustic wave is incident normally on it is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The…
The basic feature of the BCS theory is that pairing occurs between electrons in states with opposite momentum and opposite spins, e.g., between states (k) and (-k), in which the symbols of vectors are neglected, and later theories followed…
A general approach is formulated to describe spontaneous surface current distribution in a chiral p-wave superconductor. We use the quasiclassical Eilenberger formalism in the Ricatti parametrization to describe various types of the…

We study the Bernoulli property for a class of partially hyperbolic systems arising from skew products. More precisely, we consider a hyperbolic map $(T,M,\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a Gibbs measure, an aperiodic H\"older continuous cocycle…
We study the effect of the chemical potential on the results of the BCS theory of superconductivity. We assume that the pairing interaction is manifested between electrons of single-particle energies in an interval $[\mu - \hbar\omega_c,…
We study the effect of inhomogeneity of the paring interaction or the background potential on the superconducting transition temperature, T_c. In the weak coupling BCS regime, we find that inhomogeneity which is incommensurate with the…
Pairing occurs in conventional superconductors through a reduction of the electronic potential energy accompanied by an increase in kinetic energy, indicating that the transition is driven by a pairing potential. In the underdoped cuprates,…
We show that an interacting electronic system with a single ordinary or extended Van Hove point, which crosses the Fermi energy, is unstable against triplet superconductivity. The pairing mechanism is unconventional. There is no Cooper…
Like electrons, Cooper pairs can carry a monopole charge if the pairing electrons come from two or more Fermi surfaces with different Chern numbers. In such an instance, a superconductor is necessarily nodal due to an inherent topological…
The possible strong electron-phonon coupling and the pairing within the full width of the electron band and not only in a narrow sheet near the Fermi surface are taken into account. It is found that the effect of pairing of electrons…
