Unveiling the nature of the pseudogap and its relation to both superconductivity and antiferromagnetic Mott insulators, the pairing mechanism, and a non-Fermi liquid phase is a key issue for understanding high temperature superconductivity…
So far, the theories of the cuprate pseudogap may be broadly divided into two main schools of though. One is based upon the idea that view the pseudogap as deriving from some of precursor superconductivity. Another assumes that associate…
A phase diagram for a 2D metal with variable carrier density has been derived. It consists of a normal phase, where the order parameter is absent; a so-called ``abnormal normal'' phase where this parameter is also absent but the mean number…
Ultracold atomic Fermi gases present an opportunity to study strongly interacting Fermi systems in a controlled and uncomplicated setting. The ability to tune attractive interactions has led to the discovery of superfluidity in these…

We establish that the cuprate pseudogap plays a crucial role in the $ab$-plane optical conductivity $\sigma(\omega,T)$ for temperatures $T \le T_c$. The pseudogap signatures in $\sigma(\omega,T)$ associated with competing proposals of a…
Many complex electronic systems exhibit so-called pseudogaps, which are poorly-understood suppression of low-energy spectral intensity in the absence of an obvious gap-inducing symmetry. Here we investigate the superconductor…
