Thermodynamics of superconductivity beyond the Gorkov decoupling

Shun-ichiro Koh

Superconductivity beyond the Gorkov decoupling is examined with an emphasis on the thermodynamic properties. In the Gorkov decoupling, the interaction term is factorized into the pairing correlation. Therefore, in contrast to the strong pair-pair correlation in coordinate space, the correlation between the Cooper pairs in momentum space is neglected. In this paper, in addition to the conventional pairing interaction, we consider a more general type of attractive interaction that cannot be factorized into the product of the pairing correlation. Accordingly, it becomes necessary to include the neglected correlation. We assume a variational functional where the general type of interaction is taken into account, and determine the state self-consistently at finite temperature. The following results are obtained: (1) The state obtained is more stable at low temperature, compared with the BCS state with the same parameters. (2) As the temperature is increased, our state approaches the BCS state. (3) At the same temperature as in the BCS theory, our system undergoes a phase transition from the superconducting phase to the normal phase.

Gorkov algebraic diagrammatic construction formalism at third order

C. Barbieri, T. Duguet, V. Somà

Background: The Gorkov approach to self-consistent Green's function theory has been formulated by Som\`a, Duguet, and Barbieri in [Phys. Rev. C 84, 064317 (2011)]. Over the past decade, it has become a method of reference for first-principles computations of semimagic nuclear isotopes. The currently available implementation is limited to a second-order self-energy and neglects particle-number nonconserving terms arising from contracting three-particle forces with anomalous propagators. For nuclear physics applications, this is sufficient to address first-order energy differences (i.e., two neutron separation energies, excitation energies of states dominating the one-nucleon spectral function), ground-state radii and moments on an accurate enough basis. However, addressing absolute binding energies, fine spectroscopic details of $N\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ particle systems or delicate quantities such as second-order energy differences associated with pairing gaps, requires going to higher truncation orders.Purpose: The formalism is extended to third order in the algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) expansion with two-body Hamiltonians.Methods: The expansion of Gorkov propagators in Feynman diagrams is combined with the algebraic diagrammatic construction up to the third order as an organization scheme to generate the Gorkov self-energy.Results: Algebraic expressions for the static and dynamic contributions to the self-energy, along with equations for the matrix elements of the Gorkov eigenvalue problem, are derived. It is first done for a general basis before specifying the set of equations to the case of spherical systems displaying rotational symmetry. Workable approximations to the full self-consistency problem are also elaborated on. The formalism at third order it thus complete for a general two-body Hamiltonian.Conclusions: Working equations for the full Gorkov-ADC(3) are now available for numerical implementation.

Gorkov algebraic diagrammatic construction for infinite nuclear matter

F. Marino, C. Barbieri, G. Colò

We propose a novel many-body truncation for Gorkov self-consistent Green's function (SCGF) theory where pairing correlations are handled at first order, while dynamical correlations are described using the particle-number-conserving Dyson-SCGF scheme up to third order in the algebraic diagrammatic construction.The new method is enabled by the introduction of a scheme that allows to approximate the Gorkov propagator in terms of a particle-number-conserving optimized reference state.The approach provides state-of-the-art predictions of the equation of state and spectral properties of infinite nuclear matter at zero temperature and in the presence of pairing.We find satisfactory results using modern saturating Hamiltonians at next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral effective field theory.
