Senthil (MIT) Ashvin Vishwanath (MIT) Matthias Vojta (Karlsruhe) Talk online: Google Sachdev Possible origins of the pseudogap in the cuprate superconductors: “Phase fluctuations”, “preformed pairs” Complex order parameter: Ysc “Charge/valence-bond/pair-density/stripe” order Order parameters: (density r represents any observable invariant under spin rotations, time-reversal, and spatial inversion) “Spin liquid”…………… Order parameters are not independent Ginzburg-Landau-Wilson approach to competing order parameters: Distinct symmetries of order parameters permit couplings only between their energy densities S. Sachdev and E. Demler, Phys. Rev. B 69, 144504 (2004). Predictions of LGW theory First order transition Predictions of LGW theory First order transition Non-superconducting quantum phase must have some other “order”: Charge order in an insulator Fermi surface in a metal “Topological order” in a spin liquid …………… This requirement is not captured by LGW theory.
