Abstract
We present a self-consistent approach to deal with the pairing-fluctuation effects in quasi-two-dimensional superconducting systems. Besides the Cooper pairs in the Bose-Einstein condensate, there are pairs occupying the excited states, which results in the predominant fluctuations. The low-lying excited states are the collective modes. On the basis of ladder-diagram approximation, we treat the single particles and the pairs on an equal-footing manner. The Green's function of single particles is obtained as an analytic solution to a cubic equation. The bosonic degrees of freedom are relevant to the pseudogap physics in the high-T_c cuprates. The superconducting order parameter and the transition temperature are substantially reduced from the values of the mean-field theory. The calculated phase boundary of superconducting state can reasonably describe the experiment data for cuprates.
