Additional electron pairing in a d-wave superconductor driven by nematic order

We perform a non-perturbative analysis of the strong interaction between gapless nodal fermions and the nematic order parameter in two-dimensional d _x ^2_2 _− _y ^2_2 superconductors. We predict that the critical nematic fluctuation can generate a dynamical nodal gap if the fermion flavor N is smal...
