Abstract
At temperatures above the superconducting transition temperature, the pairfield susceptibility provides information on the nature of the pairfield fluctuations. Here, we study the d-wave pairfield susceptibility of a 2D Hubbard model for a doping which has a pseudogap (PG) and for a doping which does not. In both cases, there will be a region of Kosterlitz–Thouless fluctuations as the transition at TKT is approached. Above this region, we find evidence for pairfield-order parameter-phase fluctuations for dopings with a PG and BCS Cooper pair fluctuations for dopings without a PG.
