We analyze superconductivity in the cuprates near the onset of an incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) order with momentum ${\bf Q} = (Q,0)/(0,Q)$, as observed in the experiments. We first consider a semi-phenomenological charge-fermion…
An intriguing aspect of unconventional superconductivity is that it always appears in the vicinity of other competing phases, whose suppression brings the full emergence of superconductivity. In the iron-pnictides, these competing phases…
