Abstract

We have considered the problem of s-wave and d-wave superconductivity in the two-layer Hubbard model close to the metal-insulator transition. To mimic the formation of the insulating gap, the Coulomb correlations have been taken into account within the Hubbard I approximation. The interlayer momentum-conserving Josephson tunneling between the layers has been included on the mean-field level. We demonstrate that the interlayer tunneling may contribute to the occurrence of mixed d + s wave symmetry of the superconducting state with a dominating d-wave component at a low concentration of holes. The problem of the validity of the pair-tunneling model is also briefly discussed.
