Effective holon-holon interaction in the resonating-valence-bond state
Y. R. Wang
Abstract
The effective holon-holon interaction mediated by the spinon background is derived in the framework of the resonating-valence-bond model. The interaction is present only after the spinons undergo a transition to a spin superfluid state and is attractive for the holon Cooper pairs. The latter property of the holon-holon interaction gives further support to the conjecture that the two-dimensional Hubbard model by itself in the large-U limit could lead to superconductivity.
