We show that lightly doped YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+y}$ has multiple holon pockets with different areas, which lead to multiple frequencies of magnetic quantum oscillations. Using neutron scattering data on incommensurate spin ordering we…

Charge density-wave order has been observed in cuprate superconductors whose crystal structure breaks the square symmetry of the CuO2 planes, such as orthorhombic YBa2Cu3Oy (YBCO), but not so far in cuprates that preserve that symmetry,…
At the nematic quantum critical point that exists in the $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconducting dome of cuprates, the massless nodal fermions interact strongly with the quantum critical fluctuation of nematic order. We study this problem by…

We show that hole-doped cuprates can harbor {\it Fermi-surface-free superconductivity} similar to the case of the pnictides. This occurs near the doping at which a new Fermi surface pocket appears in the antinodal region. The change in…

Charge density waves are a common occurrence in all families of high critical temperature superconducting cuprates. Although consistently observed in the underdoped region of the phase diagram and at relatively low temperatures, it is still…
We forward here the case that the anomalous electron states found in cuprate superconductors and related systems are rooted in a deeply non-classical fermion sign structure. The collapse of Mottness as advocated by Phillips and supported by…
