Pairing Glue in the Two Dimensional Hubbard Model
  Cluster dynamical mean field calculations are used to construct the superconducting gap function of the two dimensional Hubbard model. The frequency dependence of the imaginary part of the gap function indicates that the pairing is dominated by fluctuations at two characteristic frequencies: one at the scale of the hopping matrix element $t$ and one at a much lower scale. The lower frequency component becomes more important as the doping is reduced into the pseudogap regime. Comparison to available information on the spin fluctuation spectrum of the model suggests that the superconductivity arises from exchange of spin fluctuations. The inferred pairing glue function is in remarkable qualitative consistency with the pairing function inferred from time-resolved optical conductivity data.
