High-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates emerges from an enigmatic metallic state, known as the pseudogap, characterized by a reconstructed Fermi surface, reduced carrier density, and the appearance of Fermi arcs, whose origin…
The pseudogap in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is an exotic state of matter, displaying emerging Fermi arcs and a momentum-selective suppression of states upon cooling. We show how these phenomena are originating in the…

It is proposed that Fermi-surface reconstruction in electron-doped Ln_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4 (Ln = Pr, Nd) and in hole-doped YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+y} and YBa_2Cu_4O_8 occurs when the Fermi arcs extend into the second Brillouin zone (BZ). The criterion…
A full Fermi surface exists in underdoped high-temperature superconductors if the temperature T lies above the pseudogap temperature T*. Below T* only arcs of Fermi surface survive, scaling with T/T* as T -> 0, with T* displaying strong…
In this article I give a pedagogical illustration of why the essential problem of high-Tc superconductivity in the cuprates is about how an antiferromagnetically ordered state can be turned into a short-range state by doping. I will start…
Spectral functions are evaluated numerically within the t-t'-J model as relevant for electron-doped cuprates. The Fermi surface develops from a pocket-like into a large one with doping. The corresponding pseudogap in the nodal direction is…
