4D-XY quantum criticality in a doped Mott insulator

M. Franz, A. P. Iyengar

A new phenomenology is proposed for the superfluid density of strongly underdoped cuprate superconductors based on recent data for ultra-clean single crystals of YBCO. The data fea…

Gauge invariant fermion propagator in QED3

M. Franz, Z. Tesanovic, O. Vafek

In a recent preprint [cond-mat/0204040] Khveshchenko questioned the validity of our computation of the gauge invariant fermion propagator in QED3, which we employed as an effective…

Relativity Restored: Dirac Anisotropy in QED

O. Vafek, Z. Tesanovic, M. Franz

We show that at long lengthscales and low energies and to leading order in 1/N expansion, the anisotropic QED in 2+1 dimensions renormalizes to an isotropic limit. Consequently, th…

Magnetic field induced charge and spin instabilities in cuprate superconductors

M. Franz, D. E. Sheehy, Z. Tesanovic

A d-wave superconductor, subject to strong phase fluctuations, is known to suffer an antiferromagnetic instability closely related to the chiral symmetry breaking in (2+1)-dimensio…

Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Phase Fluctuations in Cuprate Superconductors: A QED Unified Theory of the Pseudogap State

Z. Tesanovic, O. Vafek, M. Franz

A d-wave superconductor, its phase coherence progressively destroyed by unbinding of vortex-antivortex pairs, suffers an instability related to chiral symmetry breaking in two-flav…
