Four Last Conjectures

Philip W Anderson

I collect here some ideas on four topics which have not gained much acceptance in the community. Hence, i call them conjectures. The first three of these are in my area of expertis…

Last Words on the Cuprates

Philip W Anderson

Much of what I have to say in the following (not all) is contained in my Informal History published in 2010 in the Intl Journ of Mod Phys and available as arXiv:1011.2736 [cond-mat…

The Dilemma of Bose Solids: is He Supersolid?

Philip W Anderson

Nearly a decade ago the old controversy about possible superfluid flow in the ground state of solid He4 was revived by the apparent experimental observation of such superflow. Alth…

Theory of Supersolidity

Philip W. Anderson

After reviewing some experimental facts, and early theories, I sketch the Hartree-Fock description of Boson solids, emphasizing the contrast with the Fermion case in that the natur…

The ground state of the bose-hubbard model is a supersolid

Philip W Anderson

The Bose-Hubbard model is well-defined description of a Bose solid which may be realistic for cold atoms in a periodic optical lattice. We show that contrary to accepted theories i…

Hidden Fermi Liquid: Self-Consistent Theory for the Normal State of High-Tc Superconductors

Philip A. Casey, Philip W. Anderson

Hidden Fermi liquid theory explicitly accounts for the effects of Gutzwiller projection in the t-J Hamiltonian, widely believed to contain the essential physics of the high-Tc supe…
