1. Introduction
Since the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in cuprates it has
been believed by many researchers that an electronic mechanism could be respon-
sible for high values of Tc. Recent experimental evidences of a d-wave supercon-
ducting pairing in high-Tc cuprates strongly support this idea (see, for example,
[1,2]). At present various phenomenological models for the spin-fluctuation pairing
mechanism are known (for reference see, e.g., [2,3]). Numerical finite cluster cal-
culations also suggest a d-wave superconducting instability for models with strong
electron correlations [4].
Anderson [5] was the first who stressed the importance of strong electron cor-
relations in copper oxides and proposed to take them into account within the
framework of a one-band Hubbard model:
H = −t
∑
〈ij〉σ
(a+iσajσ +H.c.) + U
∑
i
ni↑ni↓, (1)
where t is an effective transfer integral for the nearest neighbour sites, 〈ij〉, and
U is the Coulomb single-site energy. He also considered the so-called t− J model
which results from the Hubbard model (1) in the strong coupling limit, U ≫ t,
when only singly occupied sites are taken into account, since a doubly occupied

site needs a large additional energy U :

∑
〈ij〉,σ

ninj). (2)
Here electron operators ã+iσ = a+iσ(1− ni−σ) act in the subspace without a double
occupancy and ni = ni↑ + ni↓ is the number operator for electrons. The second
term describes the spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (AFM) with the exchange
energy J = 4t2/U for the nearest neighbours.
To allow for the constraint of no double occupancy on a rigorous basis it is
convenient to rewrite the t−J model (2) in terms of the Hubbard operators (HO):
Ht−J = −

i 6=j,σ

, (3)
where tij = t, t
′
is the electron hopping energy for the nearest and the second neigh-
bours on the 2D square lattice, respectively, and Jij is the exchange interaction.
We have also introduced chemical potential µ and number operator ni =
∑

i .
The HO are defined as
Xαβ
i = |i, α〉〈i, β| (4)
for three possible states at the lattice site i: |i, α〉 = |i, 0〉, |i, σ〉 for an empty site
and for a site singly occupied by an electron with the spin σ/2 (σ = ±1, σ̄ = −σ).
They obey the completeness relation
X00
i +
∑

i = 1, (5)
which rigorously preserves the constraint of no double occupancy.
Below we consider a more realistic for copper-oxide compounds two-band p−d
model. It can be reduced to the asymmetric Hubbard model with the lower Hubard
sub-band (LHB) occupied by one-hole Cu-d like states and the upper Hubbard sub-
band (UHB) occupied by two-hole p−d singlet states [6]. In terms of the Hubbard
operators the asymmetric Hubbard model reads:
H = H0 +Ht = E1

Here the energy levels E1 = E0 − µ and E2 = 2E0 − 2µ + ∆ are introduced for
singly and doubly occupied sites, respectively, where E0 is a reference energy. In the
singlet-hole model (6) the Coulomb repulsion energy U in the standard Hubbard
model (1) is substituted by the charge transfer energy ∆ = ǫp − ǫd between p-
and d-levels in the CuO2 plane. The hopping integrals have different values for the
LHB (t11ij ), the UHB (t22ij ) and the inter-band transitions (t12ij ). They can be written
in the form tαβij = −Kαβ2tνij where t = tpd is the p− d hybridization integral and

νij are the overlapping parameters for the Wannier oxygen states which are equal
to: ν1 = νj j±ax/y ≃ −0.14 for the nearest neighbours and ν2 = νj j±ax±ay ≃ −0.02
for the second neighbours, where ax/y are lattice constants. The coefficients Kαβ
depend on the dimensionless parameter t/∆ and for a realistic value of ∆ = 2t
they are of the order 0.5− 0.9 [6] (also see [7]).
The Hubbard operators (4) for a two-band model (6) are defined for 4 possible
states at lattice site i: |i, α〉 = |i, 0〉 , |i, σ〉 , |i, ↑↓〉 for an empty site, a site
singly occupied by an electron with the spin σ and for a doubly-occupied site,
respectively. For these states the completeness relation for the Hubbard operators
reads:

A number of attempts have been made to obtain a superconducting pairing
within the microscopical theory for the Hubbard models discussed above. It should
be pointed out that the superconducting pairing due to the kinematic interaction
in the Hubbard model (1) in the limit of strong electron correlations (U → ∞) was
first proposed by Zaitsev and Ivanov [8]. Close results were obtained by Plakida
and Stasyuk [9] by applying an equation of the motion method to two-time Green
functions (GF) [10]. However, in these papers only the mean field approximation
was considered which results in the s-wave pairing irrelevant to strongly correlated
systems (for the discussion see [11]). Later on the theory in the mean field approx-
imation was considered for the t − J model within the GF approach in [11,12]
where the d-wave spin-fluctuation superconducting pairing due to the exchange
interaction J was studied.
Superconductivity in the original Hubbard model (1) was discussed in [13,14]
in the mean field type approximation within the projection technique for the GF.
Local superconducting pairings of the s- and d-symmetry were obtained which,
however, should disappear in the limit of strong correlations, U → ∞. Unfor-
tunately, in this approximation the self-energy operator caused by kinematic and
exchange interactions is ignored, though it results in finite life-time effects and
gives a substantial contribution to the renormalization of the quasiparticle (QP)
spectrum in the normal state. The self-energy of the anomalous GF is also respon-
sible for the non-local spin-fluctuation d-wave superconducting pairing.
Recently it was demonstrated for the spin-polaron representation of the t− J
model in [15]. A self-consistent numerical treatment of the strong coupling Eliash-
berg equations revealed a strong renormalization of the QP hole spectrum due to
spin-fluctuations and proved the d- wave pairing. The maximum Tc ≃ 0.01t was
obtained at the optimal concentration of doped holes δ ≃ 0.2. However, a two-
sublattice representation used in [15] can be rigorously proved only for a small
doping with a long-range AFM order. At a moderate doping one has to consider
a paramagnetic (spin-rotationally invariant) state in the t− J model.
The opposite limit of low electron densities in the t − J model was studied
by M. Kagan and Rice [16]. They observed various forms of electron pairing at
low temperatures including the d-wave instability at the values J/t > 1. A special
diagram technique for the Hubbard operators was also applied by Izyumov et
59
N.M.Plakida
al. [17] to consider spin fluctuations and a superconducting pairing in the t − J
model. However, no numerical results were presented.
In the given paper we consider a paramagnetic state with only short-range
dynamic spin fluctuations at a moderate doping. We develop the theory of super-
conductivity for the t − J model (3) and the asymmetric Hubbard model (6) by
applying the projection technique to the GF [10] in terms of the Hubbard oper-
ators. Contrary to the above mentioned papers, the self-energy operators due to
kinematic and exchange interactions are explicitly calculated in the non-crossing
approximation. The QP spectrum in the normal state of the t − J model within
the GF approach at T = 0 was also studied recently by Prelovśek [18].
Below, the Dyson equations for the matrix Green function are presented for
the t− J model in section 2 and for the Hubbard model in section 3, which are a
direct generalization of the theory developed earlier in collaboration with Professor
I.V.Stasyuk [9,11].
2. Dyson equation for the t − J model
To discuss the superconducting pairing within model (3) we consider the matrix
Green function (GF)
Ĝij,σ(t− t′) = 〈〈Ψiσ(t)|Ψ

jσ(t

in terms of the Nambu operators:
Ψiσ =

iσ =

)
, (9)
where Zubarev notation [10] for the anticommutator Green function (8) is used.
To calculate the GF (8) we use the equation of motion for the HO:

i δσ′σ̄ = (1−

i δσ′σ̄ . (11)
The boson-like operator Biσσ′ describes electron scattering on spin and charge
fluctuations caused by the nonfermionic commutation relations for the HO’s (the
first term in (10) – the so-called kinematical interaction) and by the exchange
spin-spin interaction (the second term in (10)).
By differentiating the GF (8) with respect to time t and t

and employing the
projection technique (see, e.g., [6]) we get the following Dyson equation:

Equations (12) - (14) give an exact representation for the one-electron GF
(8). To calculate it, however, one has to apply approximations to many-particle
GF in the self-energy matrix (14) which describes inelastic scattering of electrons
on a spin and charge fluctuations. Here we employ a non-crossing approximation
(or a self-consistent Born approximation) for the irreducible part of many-particle
Green functions in (14). It neglects vertex corrections and is given by the following
two-time decoupling for the correlation functions:
〈Xσ′0

Using a spectral representation for the GF we obtain the following results for
self-energy matrix elements in the k-representation:

In equation (24) we omit the k-independent part of the gap function ∆σ
k in the
MFA (13) which is caused by the kinematic interaction [8], since it gives no con-
tribution to the d-wave pairing ([11]). Here we use the imaginary frequency repre-
sentation, ω = iωn = iπT (2n+ 1).

spin correlation functions for the nearest, a1 = (±ax,±ay), and the second, a2 =
±(ax ± ay), neighbour lattice sites :
χ1s = 〈SiSi+a1〉 , χ2s = 〈SiSi+a2〉 . (29)
In the present calculations we take into account only the spin-fluctuation con-

Therefore, we have obtained a closed system of equations which should be solved
numerically. Preliminary calculations [20] confirm the existence of narrow QP
peaks for the one-electron spectral density (19) near the Fermi surface (FS). The
latter has a characteristic behaviour for strongly correlated systems with the occu-
pation numbers N(k) ≥ 0.5 throughout the whole Brillouin zone which results in
the large FS even at a small doping. A direct numerical solution by the fast Fourier
transformation of gap equation (24) proves a superconducting pairing (caused by
the exchange, J , and kinematic, t2, interactions in (24)) of the d-wave symmetry
that occurs at high Tc ≃ 0.06t.

3. Dyson equation for the p − d model
In this section we discuss the results for the two band p−d model (6). To study
the two–band problem we have to introduce a matrix Green function concerning
the normal state properties
Ĝijσ(t− t′) = 〈〈X̃iσ(t); X̃
+
jσ(t
′)〉〉, (34)
where we use two–component operators
X̃iσ =
(
Xσ2
i
X0σ̄
i
)
, X̃+
jσ =
(
X2σ
j X σ̄0
j
)
. (35)
By differentiating the GF (34) with respect to time t and t
′
and using the projection
technique described above, we get the Dyson equation in the form analogous to
(12). In [6] only a zero order GF was calculated in the form analogous to the one
band GF (13). The two-band spectrum for d-like holes and p − d singlets as well
as the density of states were calculated. It was found that hybridization between
d-like holes and singlets results in a substantial renormalization of the spectrum.
In addition, the dispersion relation depends strongly on antiferromagnetic short-
range spin correlations (given by the static spin correlation functions, equations
(29) ) in the spin-singlet state. For large spin correlations at small doping values
one finds a next-nearest neighbour dispersion. With the doping decreasing spin
correlations, the dispersion changes to an ordinary nearest neighbour one.
However, to consider the superconducting properties of the two–band model
we introduce the 4×4 matrix Green function [21]:
G̃ijσ(t− t′) = 〈〈X̂iσ(t); X̂
+
jσ(t
′)〉〉 (36)
for the four–component operators. For example, the H.c. one is given by the row-
vector:
X̂+
jσ =
(
X2σ
j X σ̄0
j X σ̄2
j X0σ
j
)
. (37)
By differentiating the GF (36) with respect to time t and t
′
and using the
projection technique described above, we get the following Dyson equation in (k, ω)
space:
G̃σ(k, ω)
−1 = G̃0
σ(k, ω)
−1 − Σ̃σ(k, ω) . (38)
The zero–order matrix GF is given by the generalized mean–field approximation:
G̃0
ij,σ(ω) = {ωδi,j τ̃0 − Ãij,σ}
−1χ̃, (39)
where
Ãij,σ = 〈{[X̂iσ, H] , X̂+

we have to calculate the zero–order GF (39) and the self-energy matrix (41). The
anomalous part of the zero–order GF in (39), F̂ 0
σ (k, ω), vanishes if one disregards
the mean-field, k-independent gap function (due to the kinematic interaction)
which violates the restriction 〈Xσ2

where the mean field spectrum is given by the dispersions Ω1(k) and Ω2(k) for
a singly occupied d-hole-like band and a doubly occupied singlet band, respec-
tively [6].
To calculate the self-energy matrix (41) we use the non-crossing approximation
described above (see equation (16)). Writing down the self-energy matrix as

Here we use a notation for hopping integrals in the two-band model (6): tαβij =
−Kαβ2tνij where α, β = 2 or 1 for the singlet and the d-hole band, respectively.

4. Conclusions
To summarize, we would like to stress that starting from the microscopical t−J
(equation (2)) or the two-band p−d (equation (6)) model we obtain a self-consistent
system of equations for the Green functions and the corresponding self-energies.
The frequency matrices in the zero- order Green functions (equations (13), (39))
and the renormalization of the quasiparticle spectra given by self-energies, (23)
for the t − J model and (46) for the two-band model, and the superconducting
pairing in gap equations, (24) for the t − J model and (47) for the two-band
model, are caused by spin and charge fluctuations which arise from nonfermionic
commutation relations for the Hubbard operators in the models (see the equation of
motion (11)). Therefore, in our microscopical theory we have no fitting parameters
for the electron-spin interaction as in phenomenological approaches. However, the
theory is not fully self-consistent in the respect that the phenomenological model
for dynamical spin fluctuations (equation (30)), was used. Nevertheless, we believe
that numerical results should not depend considerably on the explicit form of the
model for spin-charge fluctuations. Being normalized (equation (31)), it cannot
change substantially the sum over (q, ω) in the equations for self-energies. The
non-crossing approximation for self-energies (equation (16)) also seems to be quite
reliable as has explicitly been proved for the spin-polaron t−J model where vertex
corrections are small.
It is also interesting to compare the results for the one-band t − J model and
the two-band Hubbard model. In the two-band model for the hole (electronically)
doped case the chemical potential µ is in the singlet (d-hole) band, α = 2 (1), and
the main contribution to the integrand in equation (47) comes from the same band
(first term), while the contribution from the other band is proportional to t/∆2.
The latter is analogous to the static spin-exchange contribution of order J ≃ (t/∆2)
in the one-band t − J model, i.e. to the first term in equation (24). However, in
the two-band model the spin-fluctuation contribution to equation (47) is given by
66
Superconductivity in Hubbard model
the frequency dependent susceptibility D−(q, z) and the inter-band contributions
∝ K2
12 cannot be fully allowed for within the framework of the one-band t − J
model. It would be interesting to compare the solutions of gap equations in the
t − J model, equation (24), and in the two-band model, equation (47). However,
it demands rather complicated numerical work and will be considered in future
publications.
