Meissner effect without superconductivity from a chiral d-density wave

Abstract

We demonstrate that the formation of a chiral d-density wave (CDDW) state generates a Topological Meissner effect (TME) in the absence of any kind of superconductivity. The TME is identical to the usual superconducting Meissner effect but it appears only for magnetic fields perpendicular to the plane while it is absent for in plane fields. The observed enhanced diamagnetic signals in the non-superconducting pseudogap regime of the cuprates may find an alternative interpretation in terms of a TME, originating from a chiral d-density wave pseudogap.
