Abstract

We study the two-band model of spinless fermions in one dimension for weak repulsive interactions. In this case, the model is equivalent to the weakly interacting spinless two-leg ladder. We obtain nonuniversal analytic expressions for the power-law decays ∝x of the charge-density and ∝x-1/γ of the superconducting pairing correlation functions. To leading order in the doping δ away from half filling and t/t, we find γ=1 +(ρ2/8)(t/t)2δ2 (t and t are the hopping terms along and between the chains), such that superconducting pairing correlations dominate. We furthermore show that the transition from the superconducting phase to the usual one-dimensional (Luttinger) metal occurs via a mixed phase, where superconducting pairs are formed in the bonding band only. We give the phase diagram as a function of temperature and doping.
