Abstract
In this letter, we examine how the presence of flat band leads to
the formation of a high-temperature superconductor even in the case
of repulsive pairing interactions. We also show that in the case of
flat bands, the high-temperature superconducting state deforms the
flat band, tilting it and making the effective mass finite. As a
result, neither the superfluid weight nor the supercurrent
disappear. Our results are in good agreement with experimental
data.
