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…
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…
Personal history of my engagement with cuprate superconductivity, 1986-2010
Philip W Anderson
Six months ago I was asked to write a personal history of my engagement with the high-Tc problem of the cuprate superconductors, in rather informal and autobiographical style. As t…
Incoherent Tunneling Amplitude in High Tc Cuprates
Philip W Anderson, P A Casey
A 2004 paper of Anderson and Ong calculated the asymmetric coherent spectrum of point-contact tunneling into a Gutzwiller-projected superconductor. We here correct some details of…
Simple Explanation of Fermi Arcs in Cuprate Pseudogaps: a Motional Narrowing Phenomenon
Philip W Anderson
ARPES measurements on underdoped cuprates above the superconducting transition temperature exhibit the unique phenomenon of Fermi arcs, gapless arcs of Fermi surface around the nod…
Physics of the Pseudogap II: Dynamics, Incompressibility, and Fermi Arcs as Motional Narrowing
Philip W Anderson
A further discussion of the vortex fluid in the cuprate high Tc superconductors is presented. The crucial property of incompressibility towards the addition of net vorticity, leadi…
Do We Need (or Want) a Bosonic Glue to Pair Electrons in Hiigh Tc Superconductors?
Philip W. Anderson
Many investigators have joined the search for a bosonic glue which is hypothecated to be the mechanism which binds the electron pairs in the cuprate high Tc superconductors, often…
Determining the underlying Fermi surface of strongly correlated superconductors
Claudius Gros, Bernhard Edegger, V. N. Muthukumar +1
The notion of a Fermi surface (FS) is one of the most ingenious concepts developed by solid state physicists during the past century. It plays a central role in our understanding o…
Present status of the theory of high Tc cuprates
Philip W anderson
The Gutzwiller-projected mean field theory, also called Plain Vanilla or RMFT, is explained and its successes and possible extensions in describing the phenomenology of the cuprate…
A suggested 4 x 4 structure in underdoped cuprate superconductors: a Wigner supersolid
P. W. Anderson
A wave function is proposed for the "" inhomogeneous structures observed on cuprate superconductors. It is based on the Gutzwiller-RVB technique proposed in recent paper…
Physics of the Pseudogap Phase of High Tc Cuprates, or, RVB Meets Umklapp
Philip W. Anderson
It is argued that the dominant feature of the phase diagram of the high cuprates is the crossover to the pseudogap phase in the energy (temperature) region . We argu…
RVB Revisited
Philip W. Anderson
We propose that early speculations on the nature of the normal state of the planes in high superconductors can be revised and brought into agreement with more modern…
