We discuss the odd-frequency pairing correlations discovered by Zachar, Kivelson and Emery (ZKE) in a one dimensional Kondo lattice. A lattice model that realizes the continuum theory of ZKE is introduced and the correlations it gives rise…
We study a one-dimensional Josephson junction chain embedded in a magnetic field. We show that when the magnetic flux per elementary loop equals half the superconducting flux quantum $\phi_0=h/2e$, a local $\nbZ_2$ symmetry arises. This…

We investigate uniform one-dimensional arrays of small Josephson junctions ($E_J \ll E_C$, $E_C = (2e)^2/2C$) with a realistic Coulomb interaction $U(x) = E_C \lambda \exp( - |x|/\lambda)$ (here $\lambda \gg 1$ is the screening length in…

Evidence for strong pairing at arbitrary small J/t is provided in a t-J model on the checkerboard lattice for the sign of hopping leading to frustration in hole motion. Destructive quantum interferences suppress Nagaoka ferromagnetism when…
We study the Kondo effect in a quantum dot which is coupled to ferromagnetic leads and analyse its properties as a function of the spin polarization of the leads. Based on a scaling approach we predict that for parallel alignment of the…
