Abstract
A d-wave superconducting phase with coexisting intra-unit-cell orbital current order has the remarkable property that it supports finite size Fermi pockets of Bougoliubov quasiparticles. Experimentally detectable consequences of this include a residual -linear term in the specific heat in the absence of disorder and residual features in the thermal and microwave conductivity in the low disorder limit.
