Abstract

We study the superconducting instabilities generated by the inclusion in the Anderson lattice model of a density-density attractive potential between correlated electrons on nearest-neighbouring sites. Using a description of the normal phase based on a perturbative expansion around the atomic limit, we treat the attractive potential in the broken-symmetry Hartree-Fock scheme and analyze which of the possible symmetries of the superconducting order parameter leads to the highest possible transition temperature in the case of a two-dimensional square lattice. For values of the on-site f-repulsion large compared to the hopping amplitude, a suppression of any possible superconducting phase occurs, regardless of the symmetry of the order parameter.
