A microscopic Hamiltonian reflecting the correct symmetry of $f$-orbitals is proposed to discuss superconductivity in heavy fermion systems. In the orbitally degenerate region in which not only spin fluctuations but also orbital fluctuations develop considerably, cancellation between spin and orbital fluctuations destabilizes $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity. Entering the non-degenerate region by increasing the crystalline electric field, $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations emerges out of the suppression of orbital fluctuations. We argue that the present scenario can be applied to recently discovered superconductors CeTIn$_{5}$ (T=Ir, Rh, and Co).

A new mechanism for superconductivity in the newly discovered Co-based oxide is proposed by using charge fluctuation. A single-band extended Hubbard model on the triangular lattice is studied within random phase approximation. $f$-wave triplet superc onductivity is stabilized in the vicinity of charge-density-wave instability, which is in sharp contrast with the square-lattice case. The physical origin of the realization of the $f$-wave triplet state as well as the relevance to experiments are discussed.

The mechanism of superconductivity in ${rm Sr}_{2}{rm RuO}_{4}$ is studied using a degenerate Hubbard model within the weak coupling theory. When the system approaches the orbital instability which is realized due to increasing the on-site Coulomb in teraction between the electrons in the different orbitals, it is shown that the triplet superconductivity appears. This superconducting mechanism is only available in orbitally degenerate systems with multiple Fermi surfaces.

We generalize the theory of Cooper pairing by spin excitations in the metallic antiferromagnetic state to include situations with electron and/or hole pockets. We show that Cooper pairing arises from transverse spin waves and from gapped longitudinal spin fluctuations of comparable strength. However, each of these interactions, projected on a particular symmetry of the superconducting gap, acts primarily within one type of pocket. We find a nodeless $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave state is supported primarily by the longitudinal fluctuations on the electron pockets, and both transverse and longitudinal fluctuations support nodeless odd-parity spin singlet $p-$wave symmetry on the hole pockets. Our results may be relevant to the asymmetry of the AF/SC coexistence state in the cuprate phase diagram, as well as for the nodal gap observed recently for strongly underdoped cuprates.

We investigate the interplay of the electron-phonon and the spin fluctuation interaction for the superconducting state of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7}$. The spin fluctuations are described within the nearly antiferromagnetic Fermi liquid theory, whereas the p honons are treated using a shell model calculation of all phonon branches. The electron-phonon coupling is calculated using rigidly displaced ionic potentials screened by a background dielectric constant $epsilon_infty$ and by holes within the CuO$_2$ planes. Taking into account both interactions we get a superconducting state with $d_{x^2-y^2}$-symmetry, whose origin are antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The investigation of all phonon modes of the system shows that the phononic contribution to the d-wave pairing interaction is attractive. This is a necessary prerequisite for a positive isotope effect. The size of the isotope exponent depends strongly on the relative strength of the electron-phonon and spin fluctuation coupling. Due to the strong electronic correlations no phononic induced superconducting state, which is always of s-wave character, is possible.
Spontaneous time-reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking plays an important role in studying strongly correlated unconventional superconductors. When the superconducting gap functions with different pairing symmetries compete, an Ising ($Z_2$) type symmetry breaking occurs due to the locking of the relative phase $Deltatheta_{12}$ via a second order Josephson coupling. The phase locking can take place even in the normal state in the phase fluctuation regime before the onset of superconductivity. If $Deltatheta_{12}=pmfrac{pi}{2}$, then TRS is broken, otherwise, if $Deltatheta_{12}=0$, or, $pi$, rotational symmetry is broken leading to a nematic state. In both cases, the order parameters possess a 4-fermion structure beyond the scope of mean-field theory. We employ an effective two-component $XY$-model assisted by a renormalization group analysis to address this problem. In addition, a quartetting, or, charge-``4e, superconductivity can also occur above $T_c$. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed and the results are in a good agreement with the renormalization group analysis. Our results provide useful guidance for studying novel symmetry breakings in strongly correlated superconductors.
