Abstract: The BCS theory models electron correlations with pure zero-momentum pairs. Here we consider a family of pairing Hamiltonians, where the electron correlations are modelled with pure arbitrary-momentum pairs. We find all models in the family are exactly solvable, and present these solutions. It is interesting to note that the eta pair or the d -wave pair condensate in Tc superconductivity can be the ground state of a Hamiltonian in the family. These models are two-dimensional because only the z-component of the total electron spin Sz is conserved. Significantly, for the eta pair or d -wave pairing model in the family we find an analytical expression of energy and an abrupt ground state change from independent particle state to the d -wave pair condensate, suggesting a quantum phase transition.
