used to investigate superconducting state of this model. We use the notion of charge quantum number to describe
the irreducible Green's function of the superconducting state. As in the previous paper we introduce the notion of
tunneling Green's function and of its mass operator. This last quantity turns out to be equal to correlation func-

1. Introduction
The present paper generalizes our previous work [1] on
diagrammatic analysis of the normal state of the Hubbard
model [2–4] to the superconducting state.
Now we shall assume the existence of pairing of
charge carriers and non-zero Bogolyubov quasi-averages
[5] and, consequently, of the Gor'kov anomalous Green's
functions [6].
The central idea of standard BCS theory of convention-
al superconductivity is formation of Cooper pairs due to
the presence of attractive interaction between electrons.
Such attractive interaction can be of electron–phonon kind
with mechanism based on the polarizability of ionic lattice
in metal. After the discovery in 1986 of high-temperature
superconductivity in cuprate compounds with layered pe-
rovskite structure begins the era of unconventional super-
conductivity with possible alternative mechanisms of su-
perconductivity. One of such possible mechanism is spin
fluctuation exchange [7] one based on the conception of
spin polarization of electrons.
One of the most frequently used model for unconven-
tional superconductivity is the Hubbard model. We shall
discuss below its properties.
The main property of the Hubbard model consists in the
existence of strong electron correlations and, as a result, of
the new diagrammatic elements with the structure of Kubo
cumulants and named by us as irreducible Green's func-
tions. These functions describe the main charge, spin and
pairing fluctuations of the system.
The new diagram technique for such strongly correlated
systems has been developed in our earlier papers [8–18].
This diagram technique uses the algebra of Fermi operators
and relies on the generalized Wick theorem which con-
tains, apart from usual Feynman contributions, additional
irreducible structures. These structures are the main ele-
ments of the diagrams.
In superconducting state, unlike the normal one, the ir-
reducible Green's functions can contain any even number
of fermion creation and annihilation operators, whereas in
normal state the number of both kinds is equal. Therefore
we need an automatic mathematical mechanism which

takes into account all the possibilities to consider the inter-
ference of the particles and holes in the superconducting
state.
With this purpose we use the notion of charge quantum
number, introduced by us in [8] and called α-number,
which has two values = 1α ± according to the definition

In this charge quantum number representation the operator
H ′ has an additional multiple α for every vertex of the
diagrams and additional summation over α . All the
Green's functions depend of this number.

contains the local part 0 ,H where μ is the chemical po-
tential and U is the Coulomb repulsion of the electrons.
This interaction is considered as a main parameter of the
model and is taken into account in zero approximation of
our theory. The operator H ′ describes electron hopping
between lattice sites of the crystal and is considered as a
perturbation.
We shall use the grand canonical partition function in
our thermodynamic perturbation theory.
The paper is organized in the following way. In Sec. 2
we define the one-particle Matsubara Green's functions in
terms of α representation and develop the diagrammatic
theory in the strong coupling limit.
In Sec. 3 we establish relation between the full thermo-
dynamic potential and the renormalized one-particle
Green's function in the presence of additional integration
over auxiliary constant of interaction λ and prove the sta-
tionarity theorem both for a special functional consisting of
skeleton diagrams and for a renormalized thermodynamic
potential shown to be its equivalent.

As a result of application of the generalized Wick theorem
we obtain for propagator (6) the diagrammatic contribu-
tions depicted on the Fig. 1.
In superconducting state, unlike the normal state, the
propagator lines do not contain arrows which determine
the processes of creation and annihilation of electrons be-
cause indices α can take two values = 1α ± and every
vertex of the diagram describes different possibilities.
In Fig. 1 the diagram (a) is the zero order propagator,
the diagram (b) and more complicated diagrams of such
kind are of chain type. They correspond to the contribution
of the ordinary Wick theorem and give the Hubbard I ap-
proximation. The contributions of the diagrams (c) and (d)
of Fig. 1 are

where ir
0...〈 〉 means the irreducible two-particle Green's
function [2–5] and summation or integration is understood
here and below when two repeated indices are present.
Spin index has been omitted for simplicity. In the diagram
(c) the equality of lattice sites indices = = =′ ′x 1 1 x is
assumed and in diagram (d) = = =′ ′x 1 2 x . The diagrams
Fig. 1(c), (d) and (e) contain irreducible two-particles
Green's functions, depicted as the rectangles. In higher
orders of perturbation theory more complicated many-
particle irreducible Green's functions (0)ir [1, 2,..., ]nG n ap-
pear. These functions are local, i.e. with equal lattice site
indices. Therefore the diagram (c) in Fig. 1 can be dropped
since it contains a vanishing matrix element, ( ) = 0.t −x x
The process of renormalization of the tunneling amplitude
shown in the diagrams (c) and (d) leads to the replacement
of the bare tunneling matrix element ( )tα ′α −x x in (c) by
a renormalized quantity ( | )T x x′αα ′ . This process is de-
termined by the equation

(10)
and 1 2Gα α is the full one-particle propagator. The quanti-
ty T ′α α is shown in the diagrams as a double dashed line.
We then introduce the notion of correlation function
( | )x x′αα ′Λ which is the infinite sum of strongly con-
nected parts of propagator's diagrams. If we now omit from
these diagrams all those contained in the process of renor-
malization of the tunneling matrix element, we obtain the
skeleton diagrams for correlation function. In such skele-
ton diagrams we replace thin dashed lines by double
dashed lines and obtain the definition of ( | )x x′αα ′Λ
shown in the Fig. 2.
There are two kinds of λ dependence in the diagrams
of Fig. 2. One is conditioned by dependence of T ′αα
λ and
the second is determined by λ being an explicit pre-factor
in the diagrams. In Hubbard I approximation only the free
propagator line is taken into account. All the contributions
of Fig. 2 except the last one are local and their Fourier re-
presentation is independent of momentum. Only these dia-
grams are taken into account in dynamical mean field
theory [19]. The last diagram of Fig. 2 has the Fourier re-
presentation which depends of momentum.
As a result of diagrammatic analysis we can formulate
the Dyson-type equation for full one-particle Green's func-

In Appendix A we demonstrate the equivalence of the
Eq. (11) to usual [6] representation of superconducting
Green's functions.

The first three diagrams in Fig. 3 are of chain type and
correspond to the Hubbard I approximation. The next
diagrams contain the rectangles which represent our irre-
ducible Green's functions. Indeed, some of these dia-
grams are equal to zero when the dashed lines are self-
closed by virtue of the relation (0) = 0.t However, when
these dashed lines are replaced by renormalized quanti-
ties Tλ their contributions are different from zero and
should be retained. Such renormalized tunneling quanti-
ties will be used in the next part of the paper. The contri-

The Eqs. (15) and (17) establish the relation between the
thermodynamic potential and renormalized one-particle
propagator Ĝλ or tunneling Green's function T̂λ . Both these
quantities depend on auxiliary parameter λ which is inte-
grated over. As have been proved by Luttinger and Ward
[20,21], for normal state of weakly correlated systems, it is
possible to obtain another expression for the thermodynamic
potential without such additional integration.
In our previous paper [1], for the normal state of Hub-
bard model, we have obtained such an equation in the form
of special functional. We now consider its generalization to
the case of superconductivity. For this purpose we
introduce the functional
1( ) = ( ) ( ),Y Y Y ′λ λ + λ (21)

As a result we obtain the stationarity property (29) of
the functional ( )Y λ versus the change of the mass operator
.λΣ This mass operator for = 1λ coincides with correla-
tion function of our strongly correlated model.
Now it is necessary to find a relation between the ther-
modynamic potential ( )F λ and the functional ( ).Y λ
Consider first the value of the derivative ( ) / .dY dλ λ
The λ dependence of the functional ( )Y λ is of two kinds:
through λΣ and also explicit through the factors nλ in
front of the skeleton diagrams for the functional ( ).Y ′ λ
Due the stationarity property (29) we obtain

dependent on .λ
By using the definitions of ( )Y ′ λ (see Fig. 4) and of

omitted.
4. Conclusions
We have further developed the diagrammatic theory pro-
posed for strongly correlated systems many years ago to
establish the stationarity property of the thermodynamic
potential in the superconducting state of the Hubbard model.
First, we have introduced the notion of charge quantum
number which gives the possibility to consider the pres-
ence of irreducible Green's functions with an arbitrary
number of creation or annihilation Fermi operators in su-
perconducting state.
We have introduced the notion of tunneling Green's
function and its mass operator, which turns out to be equal
to the correlation function of the fermion system.
We have proven the existence of the Dyson equation for
this function and establish the exact relation between the
thermodynamic potential and renormalized one-particle
propagator. This relation contains an additional integration
over the auxiliary constant of interaction .λ
We have constructed a special functional based on the
skeleton diagrams for the propagator and for the evolution
operator which contain the irreducible Green's functions
and full tunneling Green's functions.
We have proven the existence of the stationarity proper-
ty of this functional and establish its relation with thermo-
dynamic potential.
It is important to emphasize that there is a close similar-
ity between our results obtained for two different models
of strongly correlated systems such as periodic Anderson
model (PAM) and the Hubbard model (HM). From com-
parison of the results obtained for the PAM (see paper
[18]) and the results of the present paper for the HM the
topological coincidence of the diagrams for both models
has been revealed.
For example the skeleton diagrams of Fig. 3 of paper
[18], obtained for Λ functional of PAM topologically
coincide with the skeleton diagrams of our Fig. 2 for the
same functional, but of quite a different model. In order to
obtain a complete coincidence, it is necessary to replace
the full Green's function ( )cG iω of conduction electrons
of PAM by the renormalized tunneling Green's function
( )T iω of the HM.
The same similarity exists between other functionals of
these models. For example, comparison of the skeleton
diagrams of Fig. 10 of paper [18] with the diagrams of
Fig. 4 of the present paper reveals the full coincidence
upon replacement of the Green's functions cG by T . This
comparison allows us to conclude that from the thermody-
namic point of view the PAM can be reduced to the HM if
we replace the Green's function of the conduction electrons
of PAM subsystem by tunneling Green's function of hop-
ping electrons of HM.
We also note that the skeleton representation of our
functional allows to select the local irreducible Green's
functions as can be seen from Fig. 2 of our paper and
Fig. 10 of paper [18]. These quantities contain only fluctu-
ations in time, unlike the nonlocal ones which include both
fluctuations in time and space. The coefficients of local
diagrams (see Fig. 10) vary with the order of perturbation
theory as 11 / (2 !)n n− for > 1.n
Only such local diagrams are relevant for DMFT, so
that one can attempt to carry out the summation of this
class of diagrams.
Two of us (V.A.M and L.A.D) would like to thank Pro-
fessor N.M. Plakida and Dr. S. Cojocaru for a very helpful
discussion.
