To gain a deeper understanding of the high-temperature superconductivity in doped cuprates, the constrained-path quantum Monte Carlo method was used to explore the superconducting pairing correlation function and effective pairing interaction in the three-band Hubbard model. Our main observation was that in the low doping region, compared to other symmetries, [Formula: see text]-wave superconducting pairing dominates. The Coulomb interaction [Formula: see text] suppresses [Formula: see text]-wave pairing correlation, while the effective pairing interaction is both enhanced by the increasing [Formula: see text] and the nearest attraction. These results are used to understand the superconducting state in copper oxide high-temperature superconductors.
