We investigate a model many-body system of spinless Fermi gas in two dimensions, where the bare two-body interaction is repulsive and takes the form of a soft-core disk potential. We obtain the zero temperature phase diagram of this model…

We study several aspects of the structure of vortices in conventional s-wave Type $II$ superconductors. It is well-known that there are low energy quasiparticles bound to the core of a vortex. We show that under certain conditions, these…
The Kohn-Luttinger (KL) mechanism of pairing, which describes superconductivity emergent from repulsive interactions, typically yields Cooper pairs at high angular-momentum ($\ell > 0$) and extremely low transition temperatures ($T_c$).…
In weakly coupled BCS superconductors, only electrons within a tiny energy window around the Fermi energy, $E_F$, form Cooper pairs. This may not be the case in strong coupling superconductors such as cuprates, FeSe, SrTiO$_3$ or cold atom…
Three-dimensional $d$-wave ($j=2$) superconducting state may result from Cooper pairing in channels with different angular momenta and spin, such as $(l=0, s=2)$ or $(l=2, s=0)$. We consider spin-3/2 Luttinger fermions in the limit of small…
The mutual interaction between Cooper pairs is proposed as a mechanism for the superconducting state. Above $T_c$, pre-existing but fluctuating Cooper pairs give rise to the unconventional {\it pseudogap} (PG) state, well-characterized by…
We analyze the anomalies of superconducting state (s and d-wave pairing) in a simple model of pseudogap state, induced by fluctuations of short - range order (e.g. antiferromagnetic), based on the model Fermi surface with "hot patches". We…
We study odd-membered chains of spin-(1/2) impurities, with each end connected to its own metallic lead. For antiferromagnetic exchange coupling, universal two-channel Kondo (2CK) physics is shown to arise at low energies. Two overscreening…

Superconductivity results from an instability of the Fermi surface -- contour of \textit{poles} of the single particle propagator -- to an infinitesimally small attraction between electrons. Here, we instead discuss the analogous problem on…
A new non-Fermi-liquid state of quasi-one-dimensional conductors is suggested in which electronic system exists in a form of collection of bounded Luttinger liquids stabilized by impurities. This state is shown to be stable towards…
