We review briefly several approaches used to investigate the stability of stripe phases in high temperature superconductors, where charge inhomogeneities arise from competing kinetic and magnetic energies. The mechanism of stripe formation,…
We investigate the upper critical field in a stripe--phase and in the presence of a phenomenological pseudogap. Our results indicate that the formation of stripes affects the Landau orbits and results in an enhancement of $H_{c2}$. On the…
The phase separation instability occurring with increasing nearest-neighbor repulsion V in a two-band Hubbard model (CuO chain) is discussed. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations indicate that this transition is associated with a level-crossing…
The onset of the pseudogap in high-$T_c$ superconducting cuprates (HTSC) is marked by the $T^*$ line in the doping-temperature phase diagram, which ends at a point $p^*$ at zero temperature within the superconducting dome. Although various…
This paper presents the temperature dependence of the static spin susceptibility at $\mathbf{q} = (\pi, \pi)$ and $\mathbf{q} = (\pi, 0)$ in a Mott-proximate cuprate model with an antinodal pseudogap -- a model system for high-temperature…
An intricate interplay between superconductivity, pseudogap and Mott transition, either bandwidth driven or doping driven, occurs in materials. Layered organic conductors and cuprates offer two prime examples. We provide a unified…
We examine the effects of disorder on striped phases in high-temperature superconductors and related materials. In the presence of quenched disorder, pinning by the atomic lattice - which might give rise to commensuration effects - is…
The dual nature of the electronic structure of stripes in $La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ was characterized by experimental observations, mainly by ARPES, of nodal spectral weight together with the straight segments near antinodal regions. We present…
We study the interplay of topological excitations in stripe phases: charge dislocations, charge loops, and spin vortices. In two dimensions these defects interact logarithmically on large distances. Using a renormalization-group analysis in…
The first indication of a pseudogap in cuprates came from a sudden decrease of NMR Knight shift at a doping-dependent temperature $T^*(\delta)$. Since then, experiments have found phase transitions at a lower $T^*_\text{phase}(\delta)$.…
Recent photoemission work on underdoped cuprates between Tc and T*, the pseudogap temperature, are interpreted within the framework of a previously developed negative-U scenario. From this exposition, incorporating a developed 2q diagonal…
We generalize the concept of vortex phase in a type II superconductor to textured phases, where certain phases can persist over an extended range of perturbations by confining competing phases on topological defects (the vortices in a…

Competition and coexistence of charge orders and superconductivity are hallmarks in many strongly correlated electron systems. Here, we unravel the precise role of charge fluctuations on the superconducting state in the $t$-$t'$-$J$ model…
We have performed finite temperature quantum Monte Carlo simulations on the t-Jz model on the square lattice. An on-site potential, representing the effect of external mechanisms, is used to stabilize a state of straight site-centered…
We present a short account of the present experimental situation of stripes in cuprates followed by a review of our present understanding of their ground state and excited state properties. Collective modes, the dynamical structure factor,…
A major obstacle to understanding high-Tc cuprates is that superconductivity precludes observing normal-state properties at low temperatures. One prime example is the normal-state spin susceptibility \c{hi}spin: although its decrease upon…
Motivated by recent observations of charge order in the pseudogap regime of hole-doped cuprates, we show that {\it crisscrossed} stripe order can be stabilized by coherent, momentum-dependent interlayer tunneling, which is known to be…
We perform variational Monte Carlo simulations of the single-band Hubbard model on the square lattice with both nearest ($t$) and next-nearest ($t'$) neighbor hoppings. Our work investigates the consequences of increasing hole doping on the…
I review some of the experimental evidence and theoretical arguments that suggest that pseudogap matter is a new form of matter that coexists with coherent electron matter in the normal state and with superconducting matter below the…
