Popis: We analyze the magnetic excitations and the spin-mediated superconductivity in iron-based superconductors within a low-energy model that operates in the band basis but fully incorporates the orbital character of the spin excitations. We show how the orbital selectivity, encoded in our low-energy description, simplifies substantially the analysis and allows for analytical treatments, while retaining all the main features of both spin-excitations and gap functions computed using multiorbital models. Importantly, our analysis unveils the orbital matching between the hole and electron pockets as the key parameter to determine the momentum-dependence and the hierarchy of the superconducting gaps, instead of the Fermi surface matching as in the common nesting scenario.
Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures. Revised version as published. The revised discussion includes the analysis of the nearly degenerate d-wave pairing symmetry solution beside the dominant s$_\pm$
