Observation of robust superconductivity in some of the iron based superconductors in the vicinity of a Lifshitz point where a spin density wave instability is suppressed as the {hole} band drops below the Fermi energy raise questions for spin-fluctuation theories. Here we discuss spin-fluctuation pairing for a bilayer Hubbard model, which goes through such a Lifshitz transition. We find s$_pm$ pairing with a transition temperature that peaks beyond the Lifshitz point and a gap function that has essentially the same magnitude but opposite sign on the incipient hole band as it does on the electron band that has a Fermi surface.

We study how superconducting Tc is affected as an electronic system in a tetragonal environment is tuned to a nematic quantum critical point (QCP). Including coupling of the electronic nematic variable to the relevant lattice strain restricts critica
lity only to certain high symmetry directions. This allows a weak-coupling treatment, even at the QCP. We develop a criterion distinguishing weak and strong Tc enhancements upon approaching the QCP. We show that negligible Tc enhancement occurs only if pairing is dominated by a non-nematic interaction away from the QCP, and simultaneously if the electron-strain coupling is sufficiently strong. We argue this is the case of the iron superconductors.
A series of recent experiments have demonstrated robust superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (TTG). In particular, a recent work by Cao et al. (arxiv:2103.12083) studies the behavior of the superconductor in an in-plane magnetic
field and out-of-plane displacement field, finding that the superconductor is unlikely to be spin-singlet. This work also finds that at high magnetic fields and a smaller range of dopings and displacement fields, it undergoes a transition to a distinct field-induced superconducting state. Inspired by these results, we develop an understanding of superconductivity in TTG using a combination of phenomenological reasoning and microscopic theory. We describe role that that an in-plane field plays in TTG, and use this understanding to argue that the re-entrant transition may be associated with a quantum Lifshitz phase transition, with the high-field phase possessing finite-momentum pairing. We argue that the superconductor is likely to involve a superposition of singlet singlet and triplet pairing, and describe the structure of the normal state. We also draw lessons for twisted bilayer graphene (TBG), and explain the differences in the phenomenology with TTG despite their close microscopic relationship. We propose that a singlet-triplet superposition is realized in the TBG superconductor as well, and that the $ u = -2$ correlated insulator may be a time reversal protected $mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulator obtained through spontaneous spin symmetry breaking.
We study the effect of interlayer Coulomb interaction in an electronic double layer. Assuming that each of the layers consists of a bipartite lattice, a sufficiently strong interlayer interaction leads to an interlayer pairing of electrons with a sta
ggered order parameter. We show that the correlated pairing state is dual to the excitonic pairing state with uniform order parameter in an electron-hole double layer. The interlayer pairing of electrons leads to strong current-current correlations between the layers. We also analyze the interlayer conductivity and the fluctuations of the order parameter, which consists of a gapped and a gapless mode.
Topological superconductivity is an exotic phase of matter in which the fully gapped superconducting bulk hosts gapless Majorana surface states protected by topology. Intercalation of copper, strontium or niobium between the quintuple layers of the t
opological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ increases the carrier density and leads to superconductivity that is suggested to be topological. Here we study the electronic structure of strontium-intercalated Bi$_2$Se$_3$ using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations. Despite the apparent low Hall number of $sim2 times 10 ^{19}$cm$^{-3}$, we show that the Fermi surface is shaped as an open cylinder with a larger carrier density of $sim 10 ^{20}$cm$^{-3}$. We suggest that superconductivity in intercalated Bi$_2$Se$_3$ emerges with the appearance of a quasi-2D open Fermi surface.
Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in square-planar nickelates as well as by longstanding puzzling experiments in heavy-fermion superconductors, we study Cooper pairing between correlated $d$-electrons coupled to a band of weakly-
correlated electrons. We perform self-consistent large N calculations on an effective $t-J$ model for the $d$-electrons with additional hybridization. Unlike previous studies of mixed-valent systems, we focus on parameter regimes where both hybridized bands are relevant to determining the pairing symmetry. For sufficiently strong hybridization, we find a robust $s+id$ pairing which breaks time-reversal and point-group symmetries in the mixed-valent regime. Our results illustrate how intrinsically multi-band systems such as heavy-fermions can support a number of highly non-trivial pairing states. They also provide a putative microscopic realization of previous phenomenological proposals of $s+id$ pairing and suggest a potential resolution to puzzling experiments in heavy-fermion superconductors such as U$_{1-x}$Th$_x$Be$_{13}$ which exhibit two superconducting phase transitions and a full gap at lower temperatures.
