On the Coulomb interaction in superconducting pairing in cuprates
  We discuss a reduction of superconducting transition temperature by the intersite Coulomb repulsion for the d-wave pairing in cuprates. We compare the results found for the spin-fermion model and the extended Hubbard model. We argue that in both the models the d-wave superconducting transition temperature is reduced by the Coulomb repulsion of holes in different unit cells. We also show that in the strong correlation limit the s-wave superconductivity cannot occur due to the kinematic restriction of no double occupancy in the Hubbard subbands.
