Hidden Fermi Liquid: The Secret of High Tc Cuprates

Abstract

I present a formalism for dealing directly with the effects of the Gutzwiller projection, which is implicit in the t-J model widely believed to underly the phenomenology of the high-Tc cuprates. I suggest that a true BCS condensation from a Fermi liquid state takes place, but in the unphysical space prior to projection. The theory which results upon projection does not follow conventional rules of diagram theory and in fact in the normal state is a Z=0 non-Fermi liquid. Anomalous properties of this strange metal normal state are predicted and compared to experiments.
