The purpose of this paper is to discuss a phase diagram of hole-doped cuprates. Hole-doped cuprates have a very rich phase diagram as a function of doping. This is due to a charge inhomogeneity in CuO_2 planes: the charge distribution in…
We introduce a minimal model to describe the charge degree of freedom in cuprates with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to only the three valence states CuO$_4^{7-,6-,5-}$ (nominally Cu$^{1+,2+,3+}$) and make use of the S=1 pseudospin…
A microscopic basis is provided for the spin-fermion model used to describe the physics of the underdoped cuprates. In this way, a spin-fermion coupling is shown to take care of the local no double occupancy constraint, which is ignored in…
Starting from the copper-oxygen Hamiltonian of the CuO2 planes, we derive analytically an extended 1-band Hubbard Hamiltonian for the electrons on copper sites, through a canonical transformation which eliminates the oxygen sites. The model…

We extend the methods recently introduced in Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 036401 (2011) to investigate correlations between two spin-polarons in a quasi-two-dimensional CuO2 layer. The low-energy wavefunctions for two doped holes introduced in a…

We revisit the problem of the spectra of two holes in a CuO$_{2}$ layer, modeled as a Cu-d$^{8}$ impurity with full multiplet structure coupled to a full O-2p band as an approximation to the local electronic structure of a hole doped…
While both the hole and electron doped cuprates can exhibit $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductivity, the local distribution of the doped carriers is known to be significantly different with the doped holes going primarily on the O sites while…
A theory has been worked out for the cuprates, which is based on the major features of their first-principles-derived electronic structure, including the contribution of a large-U band. Within this theory the puzzling physics of the…
The Gutzwiller-projected mean field theory, also called Plain Vanilla or RMFT, is explained and its successes and possible extensions in describing the phenomenology of the cuprate superconductors are discussed. Throughout we emphasize that…
I briefly review several key issues in understanding the cuprate superconductors from the point of view of doped-Mott-insulator. Then I present an effective low-energy theory and show that the phase diagram of such a model includes an…
In this review paper, we illustrate a possible route to obtain a reliable solution of the 2D Hubbard model and an explanation for some of the unconventional behaviours of underdoped high-$T_\text{c}$ cuprate superconductors within the…
We provide a unified interpretation of both paramagnon and plasmon modes in high-$T_c$ copper-oxides, and verify it quantitatively against available resonant inelastic $x$-ray scattering (RIXS) data across the hole-doped phase diagram.…
Significant progress towards a theory of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates has been achieved via the study of effective one- and three-band Hubbard models. Nevertheless, material-specific predictions, while essential for…
We use 89Y NMR in $YBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6+y}$ in order to evaluate with high sensitivity the distribution of hole content p in the CuO2 planes. For y=1 and y=0.6, this hole doping distribution is found narrow with a full width at half maximum…
In recent years a unified phenomenological picture for the hole doped high-T_c cuprates has emerged for a spin and charge spectroscopy. Spectral anomalies have been interpreted as evidence of charge carrier coupling to a collective spin…
