The SU(2) Gauge Theory of the Substantially Doped Mott-Insulator: the phase separated d+s superconductor

We reformulate the mean-field theory associated with the SU(2) gauge theory of spin-charge separation in doped Mott-insulators of Wen and Lee so that it can deal with the regime of substantial carrier density. We find that it describes remarkably accurately phase separation tendencies. Moreover, for elegant reasons the theory insists that the superconducting state should have a d+s orderparameter with an s-wave component growing in the overdoped regime. This appears to be consistent with both Raman- and tunneling measurements in cuprate superconductors.
