A consistent microscopic theory of superconductivity for strongly correlated electronic systems is presented. The Dyson equation for the normal and anomalous Green functions for the projected (Hubbard) electronic operators is derived. To compare various mechanisms of pairing, the extended Hubbard model is considered where the intersite Coulomb repulsion and the electron-phonon interaction are taken into account. We obtain the $d$-wave pairing with high-$T_c$ induced by the strong kinematical interaction of electrons with spin fluctuations, while the Coulomb repulsion and the electron-phonon interaction are suppressed for the $d$-wave pairing. These results support the spin-fluctuation mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates previously proposed in phenomenological models.

Temperature dependence of thermopower in the multiorbital Hubbard model is studied by using the dynamical mean-field theory with the non-crossing approximation impurity solver. It is found that the Coulomb interaction, the Hund coupling, and the crystal filed splitting bring about non-monotonic temperature dependence of the thermopower, including its sign reversal. The implication of our theoretical results to some materials is discussed.
In this brief overview we discuss the principal features of real space pairing as expressed via corresponding low-energy (t-J or periodic Anderson-Kondo) effective Hamiltonian, as well as consider concrete properties of those unconventional superconductors. We also rise the basic question of statistical consistency within the so-called renormalized mean-field theory. In particular, we provide the phase diagrams encompassing the stable magnetic and superconducting states. We interpret real space pairing as correlated motion of fermion pair coupled by short-range exchange interaction of magnitude J comparable to the particle renormalized band energy $sim tx$, where $x$ is the carrier number per site. We also discuss briefly the difference between the real-space and the paramagnon - mediated sources of superconductivity. The paper concentrates both on recent novel results obtained in our research group, as well as puts the theoretical concepts in a conceptual as well as historical perspective. No slave-bosons are required to formulate the present approach.
Superconductivity develops from an attractive interaction between itinerant electrons that creates electron pairs which condense into a macroscopic quantum state--the superconducting state. On the other hand, magnetic order in a metal arises from electrons localized close to the ionic core and whose interaction is mediated by itinerant electrons. The dichotomy between local moment magnetic order and superconductivity raises the question of whether these two states can coexist and involve the same electrons. Here we show that the single 4f-electron of cerium in CeRhIn5 simultaneously produces magnetism, characteristic of localization, and superconductivity that requires itinerancy. The dual nature of the 4f-electron allows microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity whose competition is tuned by small changes in pressure and magnetic field. Electronic duality contrasts with conventional interpretations of coexisting spin-density magnetism and superconductivity and offers a new avenue for understanding complex states in classes of materials.
In this thesis we study the strongly-correlated-electron physics of the longstanding H-Tc-superconductivity problem using a non-perturbative method, the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT), capable to go beyond standard perturbation-theory techniques. DMFT is by construction a local theory which neglects spatial correlation. Experiments have however shown that the latter is a fundamental property of cuprate materials. In a first step, we approach the problem of spatial correlation in the normal state of cuprate materials using a phenomenological Fermi-Liquid-Boltzmann model. We then introduce and develop in detail an extension to DMFT, the Cellular Dynamical Mean Field Theory (CDMFT), capable of considering short-ranged spatial correlation in a system, and we implement it using the exact diagonalization algorithm . After benchmarking CDMFT with the exact one-dimensional solution of the Hubbard Model, we employ it to study the density-driven Mott metal-insulator transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard Model, focusing in particular on the anomalous properties of the doped normal state close to the Mott insulator. We finally study the superconducting state. We show that within CDMFT the one-band Hubbard Model supports a d-wave superconductive state, which strongly departs from the standard BCS theory. We conjecture a link between the instabilities found in the normal state and the onset of superconductivity.
The idea of exciton condensation in solids was introduced in 1960s with the analogy to superconductivity in mind. While exciton supercurrents have been realized only in artificial quantum-well structures so far, the application of the concept of excitonic condensation to bulk solids leads to a rich spectrum of thermodynamic phases with diverse physical properties. In this review we discuss recent developments in the theory of exciton condensation in systems described by Hubbard-type models. In particular, we focus on the connections to their various strong-coupling limits that have been studied in other contexts, e.g., cold atoms physics. One of our goals is to provide a dictionary which would allow the reader to efficiently combine results obtained in these different fields.
