Topological density wave states of non-zero angular momentum

Abstract

The pseudogap state of high temperature superconductors is a profound mystery. It has tantalizing evidence of a number of broken symmetry states, not necessarily conventional charge and spin density waves. Here we explore a class of more exotic density wave states characterized by topological properties observed in recently discovered topological insulators. We suggest that these rich topological density wave states deserve closer attention in not only high temperature superconductors but in other correlated electron states, as in heavy fermions.
