Description
In the seminar I will present recent results concerning the interplay of
strong correlations and superconductivity. In particular
I will show that there exist pairing channels orthogonal to strong
correlation, which are actually enhanced, even enormously, in the 
proximity of a Mott metal-insulator transition. Since the results have 
been obtained by the Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT), I will first 
briefly outline this technique. This will force me to discuss Anderson 
impurity models which naturally arise within DMFT. I will try to argue 
that these Anderson impurity models are not just a mere trick to solve 
DMFT, but unveil a kind of local criticality which arises in many 
strongly correlated metals near a Mott transition.
I will discuss how this criticality influences the onset of bulk 
coherence, with particular emphasis on models for strongly correlated 
superconductors.
