Using a dynamical cluster quantum Monte Carlo approximation we investigate the d-wave superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ in the doped 2D repulsive Hubbard model with a weak inhomogeneity. The inhomogeneity is introduced in the hoppings $tp$ and $t$ in the form of a checkerboard pattern where $t$ is the hopping within a $2times2$ plaquette and $tp$ is the hopping between the plaquettes. We find inhomogeneity suppresses $T_c$. The characteristic spin excitation energy and the strength of d-wave pairing interaction decrease with decreasing $T_c$ suggesting a strong correlation between these quantities.

Motivated by the recent discovery of the anomalously near-neighbor attraction arising from the electron-phonon coupling, we quantitatively investigate the enhancing effects of this additional attractive channel on the $d$-wave SC based on dynamic clu ster quantum Monte Carlo calculations of doped two-dimensional extended Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor attraction $-V$. Focusing on the range of $0<-V/t le 2$, our simulations indicate that the dynamics of $d$-wave projected pairing interaction is attractive at all frequencies and increases with $|V|$. Moreover, turning on $-V$ attraction enhances the $(pi,pi)$ spin fluctuations but only enhances (suppresses) the charge fluctuations for small (large) momentum transfer. Thus, at $V/t=-1$ relevant to ``holon folding branch, the charge fluctuations are insufficient to compete with $d$-wave pairing interaction strengthened by enhanced spin fluctuations. Our work suggest the underlying rich interplay between the spin and charge fluctuations in giving rise to the superconducting properties.
The competing orders in the particle-particle (P-P) channel and the particle-hole (P-H) channel have been proposed separately to explain the pseudogap physics in cuprates. By solving the Bogoliubov-deGennes equation self-consistently, we show that th ere is a general complementary connection between the d-wave checkerboard order (DWCB) in the particle-hole (P-H) channel and the pair density wave order (PDW) in the particle-particle (P-P) channel. A small pair density localization generates DWCB and PDW orders simultaneously. The result suggests that suppressing superconductivity locally or globally through phase fluctuation should induce both orders in underdoped cuprates. The presence of both DWCB and PDW orders with $4a times 4a$ periodicity can explain the checkerboard modulation observed in FT-STS from STM and the puzzling dichotomy between the nodal and antinodal regions as well as the characteristic features such as non-dispersive Fermi arc in the pseudogap state.
Evidence for the presence of high energy magnetic excitations in overdoped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ (LSCO) has raised questions regarding the role of spin-fluctuations in the pairing mechanism. If they remain present in overdoped LSCO, why does $T_c$ decrease in this doping regime? Here, using results for the dynamic spin susceptibility ${rm Im}chi(q,omega)$ obtained from a determinantal quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) calculation for the Hubbard model we address this question. We find that while high energy magnetic excitations persist in the overdoped regime, they lack the momentum to scatter pairs between the anti-nodal regions. It is the decrease in the spectral weight at large momentum transfer, not observed by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), which leads to a reduction in the $d$-wave spin-fluctuation pairing strength.
The dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) combined with the fluctuation exchange (FLEX) method, namely FLEX+DMFT, is an approach for correlated electron systems to incorporate both local and non-local long-range correlations in a self-consistent manner. We formulate FLEX+DMFT in a systematic way starting from a Luttinger-Ward functional, and apply it to study the $d$-wave superconductivity in the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. The critical temperature ($T_c$) curve obtained in the FLEX+DMFT exhibits a dome structure as a function of the filling, which has not been clearly observed in the FLEX approach alone. We trace back the origin of the dome to the local vertex correction from DMFT that renders a filling dependence in the FLEX self-energy. We compare the results with those of GW+DMFT, where the $T_c$-dome structure is qualitatively reproduced due to the same vertex correction effect, but a crucial difference from FLEX+DMFT is that $T_c$ is always estimated below the N{e}el temperature in GW+DMFT. The single-particle spectral function obtained with FLEX+DMFT exhibits a double-peak structure as a precursor of the Hubbard bands at temperature above $T_c$.
Interplay between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity is studied by using the 3-dimensional nearly half-filled Hubbard model with anisotropic transfer matrices $t_{rm z}$ and $t_{perp}$. The phase diagrams are calculated for varying values of th e ratio $r_{rm z}=t_{rm z}/t_{perp}$ using the spin fluctuation theory within the fluctuation-exchange approximation. The antiferromagnetic phase around the half-filled electron density expands while the neighboring phase of the anisotropic $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity shrinks with increasing $r_{rm z}$. For small $r_{rm z}$ $T_{rm c}$ decreases slowly with increasing $r_{rm z}$. For moderate values of $r_{rm z}$ we find the second order transition, with lowering temperature, from the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconducting phase to a phase where incommensurate SDW coexists with $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity. Resonance peaks as were discussed previously for 2D superconductors are shown to survive in the $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconducting phase of 3D systems. Soft components of the incommensurate SDW spin fluctuation mode grow as the coexistent phase is approached.
