Abstract
We present a mean-field study of superconductivity in a generalized N-chann el cubic Anderson lattice at U=infinity taking into account the effect of a nearest-neighbor attraction J. The condition U=infinity; is implemented wi thin the slave-boson formalism considering the slave bosons to be condensed . We consider the f-level occupancy ranging from the mixed valence regime t o the Kondo limit and study the dependence of the critical temperature on t he various model parameters for each of three possible Cooper pairing symme tries (extended s-, d-, and p-wave pairing) and find interesting crossovers . It is found that the d- and p-wave order parameters have, in general, ver y similar critical temperatures. The extended s-wave pairing seems to be re latively more stable for electronic densities per channel close to one and for large values of the superconducting interaction J.
