Abstract
An array of one-dimensional conductors coupled by transverse hopping and interaction is studied with the help of a variational wave function. This wave function is devised as to account for one-dimensional correlation effects. We show that under broad conditions our system possesses the superconducting ground state even if no attraction is present. The superconducting mechanism is of many-body nature and deviates substantially from BCS. The phase diagram of the model is mapped. It consists of two ordered phases competing against each other: density wave, spin or charge, and unconventional superconductivity. These phases are separated by the first order transition. The symmetry of the superconducting order parameter is a non-universal property. It depends on particulars of the Hamiltonian. Within the framework of our model possible choices are the triplet $f$-wave and the singlet $d_{xy}$-wave. Organic quasi-one-dimensional superconductors have similar phase diagram.
