Universal scaling relations are of tremendous importance in science, as they reveal fundamental laws of nature. Several such scaling relations have recently been proposed for superconductors; however, they are not really universal in the…

We study conserved stochastic sandpiles (CSSs), which exhibit an active-absorbing phase transition upon tuning density $\rho$. We demonstrate that a broad class of CSSs possesses a remarkable hydrodynamic structure: There is an Einstein…
Based on recent magnetic-quantum-oscillation, ARPES, neutron-scattering and other data, we propose that superconductivity in the cuprates occurs via a convenient matching of the spatial distribution of incommensurate spin fluctuations to…
We model the Fermi surface of the cuprates by one-dimensional nested parts near $(0,\pi)$ and $(\pi,0)$ and unnested parts near the zone diagonals. Fermions in the nested regions form 1D spin liquids, and develop spectral gaps below some…
The superfluid density rho_s(T) = 1/lambda^2(T) has been measured at 2.64 GHz in highly underdoped YBCO, at 37 dopings with T_c between 3 K and 17 K. Within limits set by the transition width Delta T_c ~ 0.4 K, rho_s(T) shows no evidence of…
