We study the phase diagram of the extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice, including on-site (U) and nearest-neighbor (V) interactions, at weak couplings. We show that the charge-density-wave phase that is known to occur at half-filling when 4V > U gives way to a d_{xy} -wave superconducting instability away from half-filling, when the Fermi surface is not perfectly nested, and for sufficiently large repulsive and a range of on-site repulsive interaction. In addition, when nesting is further suppressed and in presence of a nearest-neighbor attraction, a triplet time-reversal breaking (p_x + ip_y)-wave pairing instability emerges, competing with the d_{x2+y2} pairing state that is known to dominate at fillings just slightly away from half. At even smaller fillings, where the Fermi surface no longer presents any nesting, the (p_x +ip_y)-wave superconducting phase dominates in the whole regime of on-site repulsions and nearest-neighbor attractions, while d_{xy}-pairing occurs in the presence of on-site attraction. Our results suggest that zero-energy Majorana fermions can be realized on a square lattice in the presence of a magnetic field. For a system of cold fermionic atoms on a two-dimensional square optical lattice, both an on-site repulsion and a nearest-neighbor attraction would be required, in addition to rotation of the system to create vortices. We discuss possible ways of experimentally engineering the required interaction terms in a cold atom system.

We discuss a detailed phase diagram and other microscopic characteristics on the applied magnetic field - temperature (H_a-T) plane for a simple model of correlated fluid represented by a two-dimensional (2D) gas of heavy quasiparticles with masses d ependent on the spin direction and the effective field generated by the electron correlations. The consecutive transitions between the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) and the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phases are either continuous or discontinuous, depending on the values of H_a and T. In the latter case, weak metamagnetic transitions occur at the BCS-FFLO boundary. We single out two different FFLO phases, as well as a reentrant behaviour of one of them at high fields. The results are compared with those for ordinary Landau quasiparticles in order to demonstrate the robustness of the FFLO states against the BCS state for the case with spin-dependent masses (SDM). We believe that the mechanism of FFLO stabilization by SDM is generic: other high-field low-temperature (HFLT) superconducting phases benefit from SDM as well.
We employ the weak-coupling renormalization group approach to study unconventional superconducting phases emerging in the extended, repulsive Hubbard model on paradigmatic two-dimensional lattices. Repulsive interactions usually lead to higher-angula r momentum Cooper pairing. By considering not only longer-ranged hoppings, but also non-local electron-electron interactions, we are able to find superconducting solutions for all irreducible representations on the square and hexagonal lattices, including extended regions of chiral topological superconductivity. For the square, triangular and honeycomb lattices, we provide detailed superconducting phase diagrams as well as the coupling strengths which quantify the corresponding critical temperatures depending on the bandstructure parameters, band filling, and interaction parameters. We discuss the sensitivity of the method with respect to the numerical resolution of the integration grid and the patching scheme. Eventually we show how to efficiently reach a high numerical accuracy.
We compute the two-particle quantities relevant for superconducting correlations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model within the dynamical cluster approximation. In the normal state we identify the parameter regime in density, interaction, and second -nearest-neighbor hopping strength that maximizes the $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconducting transition temperature. We find in all cases that the optimal transition temperature occurs at intermediate coupling strength, and is suppressed at strong and weak interaction strengths. Similarly, superconducting fluctuations are strongest at intermediate doping and suppressed towards large doping and half-filling. We find a change in sign of the vertex contributions to $d_{xy}$ superconductivity from repulsive near half filling to attractive at large doping. $p$-wave superconductivity is not found at the parameters we study, and $s$-wave contributions are always repulsive. For negative second-nearest-neighbor hopping the optimal transition temperature shifts towards the electron-doped side in opposition to the van Hove singularity which moves towards hole doping. We surmise that an increase of the local interaction of the electron-doped compounds would increase $T_c$.
We propose theoretically how unconventional superconducting pairing in a repulsively interacting Hubbard ladder can be enhanced via the application of a Floquet driving. Initially the Hubbard ladder is prepared in its charge-density-wave dominated gr ound state. A periodic Floquet drive is applied which modulates oppositely the energy offset of the two chains and effectively reduces the tunneling along the rungs. This modulation of the energy offsets might be caused by the excitation of a suitable phononic mode in solids or a superlattice modulation in cold atomic gases. We use state-of-the-art density matrix renormalization group methods to monitor the resulting real-time dynamics of the system. We find an enormous enhancement of the unconventional superconducting pair correlations by approximately one order of magnitude.

We investigate the Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice by the perturbation expansion to the fourth order in the on-site Coulomb repulsion U. Numerically calculating all diagrams up to the fourth order in self-energy, we examine the conv ergence of perturbation series in the lattice system. We indicate that the coefficient of each order term rapidly decreases as in the impurity Anderson model for T > 0.1t in the half-filled case, but it holds in the doped case even at lower temperatures. Thus, we can expect that the convergence of perturbation expansion in U is very good in a wide parameter region also in the lattice system, except for T < 0.1t in the half-filled case. We next calculate the density of states in the fourth-order perturbation. In the half-filled case, the shape in a moderate correlation regime is quite different from the three peak structure in the second-order perturbation. Remarkable upper and lower Hubbard bands locate at w = +(-)U/2, and a pseudogap appears at the Fermi level w=0. This is considered as the precursor of the Mott-Hubbard antiferromagnetic structure. In the doped case, quasiparticles with very heavy mass are formed at the Fermi level. Thus, we conclude that the fourth-order perturbation theory overall well explain the asymptotic behaviors in a strong correlation regime.
