In this talk I give a brief update on the recent progress in the SO(5) theory of high T_c superconductivity (Science, 275: 1089,1997). Reviewed topics include SO(5) ladders, the unification of BCS and SDW quasi-particles in the SO(5) theory…
Antiferromagnetism and superconductivity are both fundamental and common states of matter. In many strongly correlated systems, including the high Tc cuprates, the heavy fermion compounds and the organic superconductors, they occur next to…
We show that the complex phase diagram of high $T_c$ superconductors can be deduced from a simple symmetry principle, a $SO(5)$ symmetry which unifies antiferromagnetism with $d$ wave superconductivity. We derive the approximate $SO(5)$…
In this short review article, we consider some aspects of the spin-polaron concept as they relate to high-Tc superconductivity. The article is intended to be an overview in which a flavor of the research on spin polarons is given.
The topological structure of the order parameter in Zhang's SO(5) theory of superconductivity allows for an unusual type of dissipation mechanism via which current-carrying states can decay. The resistivity due to this mechanism, which…

We present numerical studies of a quantum ``projected'' SO(5) model which aims at a unifying description of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in the high-T$_c$ cuprates, while properly taking into account the Mott insulating gap. Our…
We present an SU(4) model of high-$T_c$ superconductivity. One dynamical symmetry of this model corresponds to the previously proposed SO(5) model for unification of superconductivity and antiferromagnetism, but there are two additional…

S.C. Zhang has put forward the idea that high-temperature-superconductors can be described in the framework of an SO(5)-symmetric theory in which the three components of the antiferromagnetic order-parameter and the two components of the…
This note reviews some of the recent progresses in the study of high temperature superconductivity in the interface between a single unit cell FeSe and SrTiO$_3$. It offers the author's personal view of why $T_c$ is high and how to further…
We study the fermionic states of the antiferromagnetically ordered vortex cores predicted to exist in the superconducting phase of the newly proposed SO(5) model of strongly correlated electrons. Our model calculation gives a natural…
This paper has been submitted to Science. It summarizes the experimental evidence for (and against) the interlayer theory. It was delayed in posting by clerical error.
Recently, superconductivity in PuCoGa5 was discovered. It has the same crystal structure as CeMIn5(M=Ir, Co, Rh). The electron correlation in PuCoGa5 is estimated to be weak compared with CeMIn5, and the filling number of electrons is…

The theory of hole superconductivity proposes that there is a single mechanism of superconductivity that applies to all superconducting materials. This paper discusses several material families where superconductivity occurs and how they…
