Beyond the Fermi Liquid Paradigm: Hidden Fermi Liquids

J. K. Jain, P. W. Anderson

An intense investigation of possible non-Fermi liquid states of matter has been inspired by two of the most intriguing phenomena discovered in the past quarter century, namely high…

Transport Anomalies of the Strange Metal: Resolution by Hidden Fermi Liquid Theory

Philip W Anderson, Philip A Casey

The strange metal phase of optimally and overdoped cuprates exhibits a number of anomalous transport properties: unsaturating linear T resistivity, distinct relaxation times for Ha…

A Fermi Sea of Heavy Electrons (a Kondo Lattice) is Never a Fermi Liquid

Philip W Anderson

I demonstrate a contradiction which arises if we assume that the Fermi surface in a heavy electron metal represents a finite jump in occupancy.

Hidden Fermi Liquid: The Secret of High Tc Cuprates

Philip W Anderson

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 hig…

Accurate theoretical fits to laser ARPES EDCs in the normal phase of cuprate superconductors

Philip A. Casey, J. D. Koralek, D. S. Dessau +1

Anderson has recently proposed a theory of the strange metal state above Tc in the high Tc superconductors. [arXiv:cond-mat/0512471] It is based on the idea that the unusual transp…

The "Strange Metal" is a Projected Fermi Liquid with Edge Singularities

Philip W Anderson

The puzzling "strange metal" phase of the high Tc cuprate phase diagram reveals itself as closer to a Fermi liquid than previously supposed: it is a consequence of Gutzwiller proje…

The Physics Behind High-Temperature Superconducting Cuprates: The "Plain Vanilla" Version Of RVB

P. W. Anderson, P. A. Lee, M. Randeria +3

One of the first theoretical proposals for understanding high temperature superconductivity in the cuprates was Anderson's RVB theory using a Gutzwiller projected BCS wave function…

In Praise of Unstable Fixed Points: The Way Things Actually Work

Philip W. Anderson

In recent years a fashion has grown up to ascribe great importance to ``quantum critical points'' at T=0, at the boundary between the basins of attraction to the stable fixed point…

Superconductivity in High Tc Cuprates: The Cause Is No Longer a Mystery

Philip W. Anderson

I discuss various direct calculations of the properties of the one-band Hubbard model on a square lattice and conclude that these properties sufficiently resemble those of the cupr…

Nature of Spin Excitations in Two-dimensional Mott Insulators: Undoped Cuprates and Other Materials

Chang-Ming Ho, V. N. Muthukumar, Masao Ogata +1

We investigate the excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional resonating valence bond (RVB) state. Treating the -flux phase with antiferromagnetic correlations as a variational g…

Two-dimensional Fermi Gas Revisited

Philip W. Anderson

A number of authors have taken issue with the demonstration that the 2D Fermion gas with short-range repulsive interactions (and, of course, including spin) cannot be consistently…

The Symmetries of Fermion Fluids at Low Dimensions

Philip W. Anderson, F. Duncan M. Haldane

We point out that the quasiparticle spectrum of the Landau Fermi liquid theory has an extra symmetry, local in momentum space, which is not generic to the Hamiltonian with in…

The Charge-Spin Separated Fermi Fluid in the High Tc Cuprates: A Quantum Protectorate

Philip W. Anderson

We find experimental evidence for spin-charge separation in all four relevant phases of the cuprates. It is argued that this phenomenon serves to protect the properties of the cupr…

Spin-Charge Separation is the Key to the High T_c Cuprates

Philip W. Anderson

We argue that spin charge separation holds the key to the understanding of high temperature superconductivity.
