Hole-Hole Contact Interaction in the t-J Model

Abstract

Using an analytical variational approach we calculate the hole-hole contact interaction on the N\'{e}el background. Solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation with this interaction gives bound states in $d$- and p-waves with binding energies close to those obtained by numerical methods. At $t/J \ge 2-3$ the bound state disappears. In conclusion we discuss the relation between short range and long range interactions and analogy with the problem of pion condensation in nuclear matter.Comment: 11 pp. (LATEX), 7 figures (PostScript) appended, report N
