Extensive research into high temperature superconducting cuprates is now focused upon identifying the relationship between the classic 'pseudogap' phenomenon$^{1,2}$ and the more recently investigated density wave state$^{3-13}$. This state…
In underdoped cuprates, only a portion of the Fermi surface survives as Fermi arcs due to pseudogap opening. In hole-doped La$_{2}$CuO$_4$, we have deduced the "coherence temperature" $T_{coh}$ of quasi-particles on the Fermi arc above…
The band structures of pure and hole doped La$_2$CuO$_4$ with antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin-fluctuations are calculated and compared to spectral weights of ARPES. It is shown that observations of coexisting Fermi surface (FS) arcs and closed…
Using numerical techniques we study the spectral function $A(k,\omega)$ of a spin-fermion model for cuprates in the regime where magnetic and charge domains (stripes) are developed upon hole-doping. From $A(k,\omega)$ we study the…
High-$T_c$ cuprates differ from conventional superconductors in three crucial aspects: the superconducting state descends from a strongly correlated Mott-Hubbard insulator, the order parameter exhibits d-wave symmetry and superconducting…
The two-dimensional Hubbard model is studied within the Composite Operator Method (COM) with the residual self-energy computed in the Self-Consistent Born Approximation (SCBA). COM describes interacting electrons in terms of the new…

We applied the approach of K.-Y. Yang, T. M. Rice and F.-Ch. Zhang (YRZ) to analyze the high resolution angular resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES) data in BiSCO obtained recently at Brookhaven. In the YRZ ansatz a constant RVB gap…
Two remarkable features emerge from the exact Wilsonian procedure for integrating out the high-energy scale in the Hubbard model. At low energies, the number of excitations that couple minimally to the electromagnetic gauge is less than the…
In the pseudogap state the spectrum of the autocorrelation of angle resolved photoemission (AC-ARPES) data of Bi2212 presents non-dispersive peaks in momentum space which compare well with those responsible of the checkerboard pattern found…
We address the issue whether ARPES measurements of the spectral function $A_k (\omega)$ near the Fermi surface in the normal state of near optimally doped cuprates can distinguish between the marginal Fermi liquid scenario and the…
We calculate the magnetic susceptibility in the pseudogap phase of cuprates using the two-dimensional $t-J$ model and the Mori projection operator technique. In this phase, the Fermi arcs lead to a quasi-elastic incommensurate magnetic…
The physics of the pseudogap state is intimately linked with the pairing mechanism that gives rise to superfluidity in quantum gases and to superconductivity in high-Tc cuprates, and therefore, both in quantum gases and superconductors, the…

We investigate the scenario of competing order (CO) induced Fermi arcs and pseudogap in cuprate superconductors. For hole-type cuprates, both phenomena as a function of temperature and doping level can be accounted for if the CO vanishes at…

The "states-non-conserving" fermion density of states (DOS), deduced from the specific heat of hole-doped cuprates, could arise from a Kondo or heavy fermion-like DOS being suppressed by anti-ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. The large Fermi…
