abstract

The pseudogap metal phase of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors has two seemingly unrelated characteristics: a gap in the electronic spectrum in the `anti-nodal' region of the square lattice Brillouin zone, and discrete broken symmetries. We present a SU(2) gauge theory of quantum fluctuations of magnetically ordered states which appear in a classical theory of square lattice antiferromagnets, in a spin density wave mean field theory of the square lattice Hubbard model, and in a CP$^1$ theory of spinons. This theory leads to metals with an antinodal gap, and topological order which intertwines with precisely the observed broken symmetries.

  1. Thermopower across Fermi-volume-changing quantum phase transitions without translational symmetry breaking

    cond-mat.str-el 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A large-N model of a Fermi-volume-changing transition without symmetry breaking predicts a skewed marginal Fermi liquid with large asymmetric thermopower, matching CeRhIn5 and Nd-LSCO data.

  2. Lectures on insulating and conducting quantum spin liquids

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    The notes argue that the FL* state — small pockets plus a quantized spin-liquid anomaly — resolves the ADMR pocket and v_F >> v_Delta problems that defeated holon-metal and plain fermionic-parton theories of the cuprates.

  3. Fractionalized Fermi liquids and the cuprate phase diagram

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Reviews the FL* theory for cuprates using ancilla layer models and SU(2) gauge theories to explain pseudogap hole pockets of area p/8, Fermi arcs, and transitions to d-wave superconductivity and Fermi liquid behavior.
