A many-body wavefuction is postulated, which is sufficiently general to describe superconducting pair-correlations, and/or spin-correlations, which can occur either as long-range order or as finite-range correlations. The proposed…
We consider the necessary conditions of superconducting pairing at repulsive interaction between particles composing a pair with large total momentum: (1) the existence of, at least, one negative eigenvalue of the repulsion potential and…
The pairing of charge carriers with large pair momentum is considered in connection with high-temperature superconductivity of cuprate compounds. The possibility of pairing arises due to some essential features of quasi-two-dimensional…
Fermion systems with flat bands can boost superconductivity by enhancing the density of states at the Fermi level. We use quasiexact numerical methods to show that repulsive interactions between spinless fermions in a one-dimensional (1D)…
The nature of unconventional superconductivity is intimately linked to the microscopic nature of the pairing interactions. In this work, motivated by cubic heavy fermion compounds with embedded multipolar moments, we theoretically…
A spin-imbalanced Fermi gas with an attractive contact interaction forms a superconducting state whose underlying components are superpositions of Cooper pairs that share minority-spin fermions. This superconducting state includes…
We discuss correlations between particles of different momentum in a superfluid fermi gas, accessible through noise measurements of absorption images of the expanded gas. We include two elements missing from the simplest treatment, based on…
We discuss superconducting pairing in a narrow conduction band sandwiched between unoccupied and occupied bands, an arrangement that enables an unconventional pairing mechanism governed by Coulomb repulsion. Pairing interaction originates…
We point out the curious phenomenon of order by projection in a class of lattice Fermi systems near half filling. Enhanced pairing correlations of extended s-wave Cooper pairs result from the process of projecting out s-wave Cooper pairs,…
A variational ground state of the repulsive Hubbard model on a square lattice is investigated numerically for an intermediate coupling strength (U = 8t) and for moderate sizes (from 6 x 6 to 10 x 10). Our ansatz is clearly superior to other…
Phase structure of the (2+1)-dimensional model with four-fermion interaction of spin-1/2 quasiparticles (electrons) both in the fermion-antifermion (or chiral) and fermion-fermion (or superconducting) channels is considered at nonzero…
We have rigorously shown that a strong Hubbard repulsion can cause superconductivity. The model, which has a particular set of local symmetries, manifests the phase diagram of many unconventional superconductors; anti-ferromagnetism…
We present the exact solution of a model of interacting fermions in any dimension with a pure repulsive interaction projecting out a given Cooper channel. The solution rests upon the infinite ranged character of the interaction in real…
Pairing symmetry plays a central role in the study of superconductivity. It is usually characterized by integer partial-waves, for example, $s$-, $p$-, $d$-waves. In this article, we investigate a new class of topological superconductivity…
We consider a correlated wavefunction including particle-hole pairing at half a reciprocal lattice vector for itinerant electrons hopping on a square lattice in two dimensions and subject both to on-site and nearest-neighbor repulsion. We…
Different superconducting pairing mechanisms are markedly distinct in the underlying Cooper pair kinematics. Pairing interactions mediated by quantum-critical soft modes are dominated by highly collinear processes, falling into two classes:…
We study the topological properties of superconductors with paired $j=\frac{3}{2}$ quasiparticles. Higher spin Fermi surfaces can arise, for instance, in strongly spin-orbit coupled band-inverted semimetals. Examples include the Bi-based…
Superconductivity in a partially filled flat band presents a vexing conceptual hurdle because the absence of a Fermi surface precludes a weak-coupling regime where one can extend insights from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer picture of a…
