Abstract

We shall review our recent works on d-wave density wave (dDW) and gossamer superconductivity (i.e. d-wave superconductivity in the presence of dDW) in high-Tc_{c} cuprates and CeCoIn5_{5}. a) We show that both the giant Nernst effect and the angle dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) in the pseudogap phases of the cuprates and CeCoIn5_{5} are manifestations of dDW. b) The phase diagram of high-Tc_{c} cuprates is understood in terms of mean field theory, which includes two order parameters Δ1\Delta_{1} and Δ2\Delta_{2}, where one order parameter is from dDW and the other from d-wave superconductivity. c) In the optimally to the overdoped region we find the spatially periodic dDW, an analogue of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, becomes more stable. d) In the underdoped region where Δ2/Δ11\Delta_{2}/\Delta_{1} \ll 1 the Uemera relation is obtained within the present model. We speculate that the gossamer superconductivity is at the heart of high-Tc_{c} cuprate superconductors, the heavy-fermion superconductor CeCoIn5_{5} and the organic superconductors κ\kappa- (ET)2_{2}Cu(NCS)2_{2} and (TMTSF)2_2PF6_{6}.
