In this work we have considered a two-dimensional two-band Hubbard model (extended Hubbard model) to study the effect of the nonlocal hybridization
Vk on the superconductivity. In the strong-coupling regime and for a
d-wave superconducting gap, we have obtained the superconducting critical temperature
Tc and the zero-temperature superconducting gap ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$ for different hybridizations. We have adopted hopping parameters suitable to describe the high-temperature superconductor materials. The results show that for a fixed value of the hybridization and the intraband $d\text{\ensuremath{-}}d$ attractive potential
U, the gap increases for low temperatures and diminishes as the temperatures increase toward
Tc. As the hybridization increases both, ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}$ and
Tc, diminish. For each hybridization, the quantity $2{\ensuremath{\Delta}}_{0}/{k}_{B}{T}_{c}$ increases and saturates in a particular value as
U increases. The relation between applied pressure
P and hybridization in the strong-coupling regime is also discussed.
Using a recently developed renormalization group method for fermionic superfluids, we determine conditions for
d-wave superconductivity in the ground state of the two-dimensional Hubbard model at moderate interaction strength, and we compute the pairing gap in the superconducting regime. A pairing instability signaled by a divergent flow in the Cooper channel leads to a superconducting state in all studied cases. The next-to-nearest-neighbor hopping ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ plays a crucial role in the competition between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. A sizable ${t}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ is necessary to obtain a sizable pairing gap.
The one-particle correlation functions of a
dx2-
y2 superconducting state in the two-dimensional Hubbard model are investigated within the fluctuation-exchange approximation. This approximation has been previously applied to investigate properties of the Hubbard-model normal state, including incipient instabilities. Results are obtained for the wave vector and temperature dependence of the one-particle energy gap. A miximum gap ratio 2${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}_{\mathit{k}}^{\mathrm{max}}$(T=0)/
kBTc of order 10 is obtained for intermediate coupling strengths and electron densities near one per site. The potential appearance of spin excitons in two-particle response functions is discussed.
