Abstract

In this work we use functional integral techniques to examine the nearest-neighbor attractive Hubbard model on a quasi-two-dimensional lattice. It is a simple phenomenological model for the high-Tc cuprates that allows both extended (nonlocal) s- and d-wave singlet superconductivity as well as mixed symmetry states. The Hartree-Gor’kov mean-field theory of the model has a finite-temperature phase diagram which shows a transition from pure s-wave to pure d-wave superconductivity, via a mixed symmetry s+id state, as a function of doping. Including Gaussian fluctuations we examine the crossover from weak-coupling BCS superconductivity to the strong-coupling Bose-Einstein condensation of composite s- or d-wave bosons and comment on the origin and symmetry of the pseudogap.
