Summary
We solved a model of interacting fermions with repulsive interactions, revealing strong superconducting enhancements. This projection method induces quasi-long-ranged order in an unexpected Cooper channel.
Area of Science:
- Condensed Matter Physics
- Quantum Many-Body Theory
- Superconductivity
Background:
- Understanding emergent phenomena in interacting fermion systems is a key challenge.
- Investigating the role of interactions and their projection in exotic phases.
- Exploring mechanisms for superconductivity beyond conventional theories.
Purpose of the Study:
- To find the exact solution for a specific model of interacting fermions.
- To analyze the effects of pure repulsive interactions projecting onto a Cooper channel.
- To understand the emergence of superconducting enhancements and order.
Main Methods:
- Developed an exact solution based on the infinite-ranged nature of the interaction in real space.
- Utilized a functional integral approach dominated by a Gaussian term.
- Applied the 'order by projection' concept to analyze emergent properties.
Main Results:
- Achieved an exact solution for the fermion model in any dimension.
- Demonstrated strong superconducting enhancements due to the repulsive interaction.
- Observed quasi-long-ranged order in a Cooper channel not explicitly in the Hamiltonian.
Conclusions:
- The 'order by projection' mechanism can induce superconductivity and quasi-long-ranged order.
- Infinite-ranged interactions simplify the model, enabling an exact analytical solution.
- This work provides a new perspective on achieving superconductivity through repulsive forces.
