Abstract

We study the effect of nonuniform transverse couplings on a quasi-one dimensional superconductor. We show that inhomogeneous couplings quite generally increase the superconducting (pairing) gap relative to the uniform system, but that beyond an ``optimal'' degree of inhomogeneity, they lead to a suppression of the tendency to phase coherence. The optimal conditions for superconductivity are derived. We also show that a {\it delocalized}, spin-gapped phase is stable against weak disorder in a four-leg-ladder with moderate repulsive interactions.
