چکیده

In the context of the Anderson theory of high Tc cuprates, we develop a BCS theory for Luttinger liquids. If the Luttinger interaction is much stronger than the BCS potential we find that the BCS equation is quite modified compared to usual BCS equation for Fermi liquids. In particular Tc predicted by the BCS equation for Luttinger liquids is quite higher than the usual Tc for Fermi liquids. 1 The anomalous BCS equation The equivalent of BCS theory for a Luttinger liquid has not formally worked out, despite the relevance of such theory for the problem of superconductivity in the high-Tc cuprates, see [1] or the discussion in the following section. Such theory should describe superconductors which in their normal state are Luttinger liquids. In this paper we develop such theory using constructive quantum field theory techniques, applied in many other Luttinger liquid problems, see [2], [3]. In particular, we compute in a rigorous way the BCS self-consistence equation for a spinning Luttinger liquid (the Mattis model, see [4]) coupled with a BCS anomalous potential. We stress that it should be difficult to find similar results using different techniques: in fact the Mattis model plus a BCS interaction is not exactly solvable, and bosonization or conformal quantum field theory cannot be used to compute the correlation functions of theories with gap like the present one (see for instance [5]). We will assume that an anomalous self energy has been introduced by some external influence in a Luttinger liquid See [1] pag.209 so that the model is described by the following hamiltonian

Anomalous superconductivity in coupled Luttinger liquids

According to Anderson ((A], pag. 54) "the equivalent of BCS theory for a fully spin-charge separated Luttinger liquid has not been formally worked out". We consider a model for two one dimensional spinning Luttinger liquids coupled via a Cooper tunnelling hamil-tonian. We show that the partition function is the four dimensional integral of an exponential whose exponent has an extremal point obt...

توضیحاتی درباره نظریه‌های ابررسانایی دمای بالا

  The recently discovered MgB2 superconductors have a record transition temperature for a BCS superconductor due to the high vibration frequencies associated with its light elements. The transition temperatures in the cuprate family of superconductors are much higher but these do not fit the BCS paradigm. The most promising microscopic origin for their many anomalous properties lies in magnetic...

Anomalous Density of States of a Luttinger Liquid in Contact with a Superconductor.

We study the frequency and space dependence of the local tunneling density of states of a Luttinger liquid (LL) which is connected to a superconductor. This coupling strongly modifies the single-particle properties of the LL. It significantly enhances the density of states near the Fermi level, whereas this quantity vanishes as a power law for an isolated LL. The enhancement is due to the inter...

Quantum entanglement in carbon nanotubes.

With the surge of research in quantum information, the issue of producing entangled states has gained prominence. Here, we show that judiciously bringing together two systems of strongly interacting electrons with vastly differing ground states-the gapped BCS superconductor and the Luttinger liquid-can result in quantum entanglement. We propose three sets of measurements involving single-walled...
