Abstract

The bilayer Hubbard model with an intralayer hopping t and an interlayer hopping t⊥ provides an interesting testing ground for several aspects of what has been called unconventional superconductivity. One can study the type of pair structures which arise when there are multiple Fermi surfaces. One can also examine the pairing for a system in which the structure of the spin-fluctuation spectral weight can be changed. Using a dynamic cluster quantum Monte Carlo approximation, we find that near half filling, if the splitting between the bonding and antibonding bands t⊥/t is small, the gap has B1g (dx2−y2-wave) symmetry, but when the splitting becomes larger, A1g (s±-wave) pairing is favored. We also find that in the s± pairing region, the pairing is driven by interlayer spin fluctuations and that Tc is enhanced.
