In this paper, the authors study the evolution of the leading superconducting instabilities of the single-orbital Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice as a function of onsite Coulomb repulsion $U$ and band filling by calculating the irreducible particle-particle scattering vertex obtained from dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) calculations, and compare the results to both perturbative Kohn-Luttinger (KL) theory as well as the widely used random phase approximation (RPA) spinfluctuation pairing scheme.Abstract:
The Hubbard model is the simplest model that is believed to exhibit superconductivity arising from purely repulsive interactions, and has been extensively applied to explore a variety of unconventional superconducting systems. Here we study the evolution of the leading superconducting instabilities of the single-orbital Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice as a function of onsite Coulomb repulsion $U$ and band filling by calculating the irreducible particle-particle scattering vertex obtained from dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) calculations, and compare the results to both perturbative Kohn-Luttinger (KL) theory as well as the widely used random phase approximation (RPA) spin-fluctuation pairing scheme. Near half-filling we find remarkable agreement of the hierarchy of the leading pairing states between these three methods, implying adiabatic continuity between weak- and strong-coupling pairing solutions of the Hubbard model. The $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave instability is robust to increasing $U$ near half-filling as expected. Away from half filling, the predictions of KL and RPA at small $U$ for transitions to other pair states agree with DCA at intermediate $U$ as well as recent diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations. RPA results fail only in the very dilute limit, where it yields a $d_{xy}$ ground state instead of a $p$-wave state established by diagrammatic Monte Carlo and low-order perturbative methods, as well as our DCA calculations. We discuss the origins of this discrepancy, highlighting the crucial role of the vertex corrections neglected in the RPA approach. Overall, comparison of the various methods over the entire phase diagram strongly suggests a smooth crossover of the superconducting interaction generated by local Hubbard interactions between weak and strong coupling.read more

Orbital-dependent self-energy effects and consequences for the superconducting gap structure in multiorbital correlated electron systems
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of electronic correlations on the superconducting gap structure of multiband superconductors were studied and it was shown that self-energy effects can lead to an orbital inversion of the orbital-resolved spin susceptibility, and thereby invert the hierarchy of the most important orbitals channels.

The resonating valence bond state in La2CuO4 and superconductivity
TL;DR: The oxide superconductors, particularly those recently discovered that are based on La2CuO4, have a set of peculiarities that suggest a common, unique mechanism: they tend in every case to occur near a metal-insulator transition into an odd-electron insulator with peculiar magnetic properties.

Quantum cluster theories
TL;DR: The quantum cluster theory as discussed by the authors is a set of approximations for infinite lattice models which treat correlations within the cluster explicitly, and correlations at longer length scales either perturbatively or within a mean-field approximation.
