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…
Crystalline electron pairs
M. Franz
This is a nontechnical Perspective Commentary on the recent developments in cuprate STM and their ramifications for the theories of the pseudogap state, focusing on the paper by Ha…
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…
