Abstract

We use the dynamical cluster approximation to understand the proximity of the superconducting dome to the quantum critical point in the two-dimensional Hubbard model. In a BCS formalism, Tc may be enhanced through an increase in the d-wave pairing interaction (Vd) or the bare pairing susceptibility (χ0d). At optimal doping, where Vd is revealed to be featureless, we find a power-law behavior of χ 0d(ω=0), replacing the BCS log, and strongly enhanced T c. We suggest experiments to verify our predictions. © 2011 American Physical Society.
