It is now widely accepted that the cuprate superconductors are characterized by the same long-range order as that present in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory: that associated with the condensation of Cooper pairs. We argue that…

Competing electronic states are found in the large majority of unconventional superconductors, including high-Tc cuprates, iron based superconductors and many heavy fermion systems. The complex interplay is reflected in phase diagrams as a…

The one-band Hubbard model at half-filling on a truncated tetrahedron (C$_{12}$), and on the C$_{60}$ molecule is studied. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation, we find a magnetic-like instability of the `Fermi sea' towards a spin-ordered…
We calculate the dynamical spin structure factor of spin waves for weakly coupled stripes. At low energy, the spin wave cone intensity is strongly peaked on the inner branches. As energy is increased, there is a saddlepoint followed by a…

We investigate the critical behavior of a three-dimensional short-range spin glass model in the presence of an external field $\eps$ conjugated to the Edwards-Anderson order parameter. In the mean-field approximation this model is described…
Spatial 4a x 4a modulations, with a the lattice constant of CuO_2 planes, or the so called checkerboards can arise from double-Q spin density wave (SDW) with Q_1 = (pm pi/a, pm 3 pi/4a) and Q_2 = (pm 3 pi/4a, pm pi/a). When multi-Q pair…
The pseudogap metal phase of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors has two seemingly unrelated characteristics: a gap in the electronic spectrum in the `anti-nodal' region of the square lattice Brillouin zone, and discrete broken…
The occurrence of charge-density-wave (CDW) order in underdoped cuprates is now well established, although the precise nature of the CDW and its relationship with superconductivity is not. Theoretical proposals include contrasting ideas…
We consider the SU(2) gauge theory for spin fluctuations in the two-dimensional Hubbard model, where the electron field is fractionalized in terms of spinons and chargons. In this theory, spinons are described by a non-linear sigma model,…
Overdoped cuprate superconductors are strange metals above their superconducting transition temperature. In such materials, the electrical resistivity has a strong linear dependence on temperature ($T$) and electrical current is not carried…

We study the critical behavior of a general class of cubic-symmetric spin systems in which disorder preserves the reflection symmetry $s_a\to -s_a$, $s_b\to s_b$ for $b\not= a$. This includes spin models in the presence of random…
We use Monte Carlo methods to study spinons in two-dimensional quantum spin systems, characterizing their intrinsic size $\lambda$ and confinement length $\Lambda$. We confirm that spinons are deconfined, $\Lambda \to \infty$ and $\lambda$…
