Resilience of d-wave superconductivity to nearest-neighbor repulsion    [PDF]

Many theoretical approaches find d-wave superconductivity in the prototypical one-band Hubbard model for high-temperature superconductors. At strong-coupling (U > W, where U is the on-site repulsion and W=8t the bandwidth) pairing is controlled by the exchange energy J=4t^2/U. One may then surmise, ignoring retardation effects, that near-neighbor Coulomb repulsion V will destroy superconductivity when it becomes larger than J, a condition that is easily satisfied in cuprates for example. Using Cellular Dynamical Mean-Field theory with an exact diagonalization solver for the extended Hubbard model, we show that pairing, at strong coupling, is preserved even when V>>J, as long as VView original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.4503
