Abstract: | A recent paper of Capone et al. has studied an extended Hubbard model, in which local orbital degrees of freedom allow an even integer occupation at each site. A strong local repulsion U triggers a metal-insulator transition. Within a DMFT numerical analysis they show that when the ground state is a singlet a pocket of s-wave superconductivity appears in the vicinity of the Mott transition, with a strongly enhanced superconducting gap. A qualitative understanding of their result is proposed, and suggestions are made of possible systems in which this beautiful effect might be searched. |
